About L McKee Photography
My name is Larry McKee. I am retired photojournalist based in Oakland County, Michigan. I now specialize in landscape and digital art photography. Prior to retirement I worked as a staffer and stringer for various print publications including The Oakland Press, The Observer & Eccentric Newspapers, The County Press, Macomb Daily and The Detroit News. I have aslo worked as a staff and freelance writer for various other newspapers, magazines and periodicals in the United States and Europe. I have received over 47 state and national awards for my work and have degrees in Liberal and Media Arts. I was the sole staff photographer for a Michigan Press Association Newspaper of the Year recipient and was twice nominated for Journalist of the Year honors at the O&E. My work has been recognized by the National Newspaper Association, the Suburban Newspaper Association, the Michigan Press Association, the Detroit Society of Professional Journalists and the Michigan Press Photographers Association. As a photojournalist, I believed my job was to capture moments that not only provoked an emotion or grabbed your attention, but that also told a story. That is still the approach I take for every genre of photography I pursue and practice today.
