Since then he has created complex photo documentations on national and international stages. Since 1989 Ralph Larmann has captured many celebrities, performances, events and productions creating fascinating images.

Since 1992, Larmann has designed and produced high-quality coffee-table books, concert brochures and exhibition catalogues for companies and many different artists from the world of rock and pop musicas well as classical music and since 2000 with his own full-service business, the Ralph Larmann Company.

A Ralph Larmann coffee-table book was published for the first time in Chinese language in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong in May 2012 under the title THE CHARM OF LIVE STAGE DESIGN. The 3rd STAGE DESIGN book will be published in 2018/2019.

This worldwide publicised creation represents the current highlight of Larmann's photographic work.

Among his recently designed photo documentations special attention should be drawn toward the two shows 50 YEARS THE ROLLING STONES in the London O2 Arena and two 14 ON FIRE shows in Berlin and Paris photographed by Larmann on behalf of the AC/DC ROCK OR BUST World Tour final rehearsal and first two shows in May 2015, several TAKE THE CROWN & SWINGS BOTH WAYS shows of entertainer Robbie Williams (also in the O2 Arena, London & Wembley Stadium, London), the two CHEEK concerts at the Olympic Stadium Helsinki in 2014, the Justin Timberlake 20/20 EXPERIENCE world premiere in Brooklyn/NYC, Celine Dion LIVE IN PARIS, Michael Bubl TO BE LOVED the opening ceremony of the OLYMPIC & PARALYMPIC WINTER GAMES SOCHI 2014, the DOWNTOWN DUBAI NEW YEAR'S EVE 2013 in front of the Burj Khalifa, the world's highest building in Dubai/UAE as well as the MUSCAT FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS 2013, the QATAR NATIONAL DAY 2013 event in Doha, Qatar, the SAUDI ARABIA National Day 2014 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and THE CIRCLE OF LIGHT FESTIVAL 2013 / 2014 / 2015 & 2016 in Moscow, Russia.
