Meet Jeff
Jeffrey H. Mantler, M.Photog., Cr., CPP
A third-generation portrait artist with more than 30 years behind the camera, and a teacher, writer and consultant to the photographic industry.
Jeff believes a fine portrait should show a person at their most natural and most distinguished. That is why every Larmon Studios commission is created where you are most at ease: your home, your estate, your office, or a place that holds meaning for you. Working from Abington and Fort Washington, Jeff brings professional lighting to clients across the Delaware Valley and personally directs every commission, from the first conversation to the final portrait.
