   Dr. Laszlo Perlaky is a Hungarian-born photographic artist, educator, and owner of Naturalperl Fine-art Photography. After 30 years of service at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Centers he retired, and now he dedicates himself full time to photographing nature’s beauty.

His high affinity for the natural environment and the camera helped him pursue his photographic art and perfect his craft. After 20 years of black and white film photography, he has transitioned to and mastered the chrome medium, working with it exclusively for about 15+ years. However, in the past 15 years, the newly developed advanced technology helped him to rediscover black and white film photography and quad tone printing. At present, he uses his Linhof Master Technika Classic 4×5 and Deardorff 8×10 large format film cameras with Schneider and Nikon lenses. He develops his negatives in his darkroom, scans, processes, and produces archival monochromatic pigment prints. 

He is a member of several national and international photographic organizations, elected Board Member at the Lost Pines Art Center,  led his monthly “Through the Lens” Photo-hikes at Brazos Bend State Park for 29 years, conducts his Naturalperl workshops and he is a photography instructor at Houston Center for Photography (HCP) and Houston Photography Study Group (HPSG). 

He won several prestigious awards in national and international photography contests, published his images in magazines, books, and calendars, and exhibited his work in numerous group and solo exhibitions at art galleries and art festivals.

His fine art prints for sale are available.
