Lawrence Spann is a former NBA player and a professional photographer for over 45 years, specializing in photography and graphic design.
He began in the field at age 13 and has operated photography studios over the years, growing into the work around the picture itself: repairing damaged photographs, designing graphics and producing finished prints, canvases, posters and banners.
He has owned Photos By Phone since May 5, 2021. Its idea is simple — power in the phone: the photos people already carry can become canvas prints and posters worth hanging. Today he runs Photos By Phone from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, with full-color printing alongside Creation Graphics.
