Richard Olsenius

Richard Olsenius is an American photographer, videographer, and music composer whose 50-year career has taken him around the United States, throughout South America and across the Arctic. His work, has appeared in newspapers, magazines, books, art galleries, museum collections, films and stage presentations.[1]

Early life and education

Olsenius was born in Galesburg, Illinois, in 1946, and grew up on the edge of the prairie, a landscape he was drawn to throughout his photographic career. "To me there is nothing more powerful than… seeing the prairie begin to rise up. Because there is nothing to hang onto out there, your soul taps into the ground a little stronger. You become more self-reliant. And you identify so strongly with your landscape…"[2]

He moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, at a young age where he attended both grade school and high school. He attended one year of college at Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter, Minnesota. But at the beginning of his second year, he left for New York and worked as a copy aide at Time Life. In New York Olsenius bought a Konica 35 mm camera and began to photograph street life in Greenwich Village.

Early photographic career

In 1967 Olsenius returned to college attending the University of Minnesota School of Journalism and Mass Communications until 1970. In 1967 he had his first exhibit at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis.[3] He had a photographic exhibit at Coffman Union,[4] the university student union in 1968 and also worked as photo editor of the university's Ivory Tower Magazine. In 1969 he worked as a summer intern at the Minneapolis Star evening paper and by 1970 he was hired full-time by the larger circulation Minneapolis Tribune morning and Sunday paper.[5] 1970 was also the year Olsenius won two scholarship awards and had his first single-artist exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.[6] The awards were the William Randolph Hearst Photojournalism Scholarship award[7] and the Kappa Alpha Mu Photojournalism Scholarship award.[8] His photographic exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, titled "High School", focused on the changing status of inner-city schools due to white flight to the suburbs. It consisted of 40 black and white prints, reflecting Olsenius's lifelong interest in the black and white image.[9]

In his National Geographic Field Guide to Digital Black and White Photography, Olsenius stated, "Black-and-white photography is a special way of seeing and recording the world around us. In a world of profuse and ubiquitous color, black-and-white provides clarity to form, poignancy to character, and timelessness to action. There is a special'otherness' to the black-and-white image."[10][11]

A number of images from the show were purchased for the Art Institute's permanent collection.[12] In 1972 selected images from "High School" were also published in the hardcover art and literary publication, Audience Magazine.[13]

Don Morrison of the Minneapolis Star reviewed the "High School "exhibit: "It is not a bleak show, exactly, but it whacked me hard. Maybe it's my elder sensibilities or possibly just a mood. In any event, it lumped my throat and misted my eyes…What's disturbing about these pictures is the thought that this isn't the way youth should be."[14]

As a staff photographer at the Minneapolis Tribune, Olsenius covered news and feature stories at the local, state, regional, national and international level. Stories could vary from local high school football, to energy development in the West, to covering the genocide of Cambodians by dictator Pol Pot.[15][16] Over his years with the Tribune, Olsenius won numerous awards from Associated Press, Minnesota Press Photographers, NPPA, Inland Daily Press Association, and Pictures of the Year by the University of Missouri School of Journalism.[17][18][19][20] In 1980 Olsenius was awarded the World Press Photo Award for his coverage of Cambodian refugees. The award was presented in the Netherlands and accepted on behalf of Olsenius by Ambassador Geri Joseph.[21][22]

In 1977 Olsenius' first photo book, Flight, was published by Red Studio Press. "Richard Olsenius takes his readers on a journey through life," stated the reviewer at the Minneapolis Star. "Anyone familiar with Olsenius's work in the Minneapolis Tribune expects quality from his photographs, a unique imaginative perspective that tells you immediately,'that's an Olsenius' before you read the picture credit. That quality is maintained in Flight. "[23]

In 1980, while still at the Tribune, Olsenius produced his first film, Autumn Passage, a film that traces the subtle changes from fall to winter in the Midwest. It was awarded a bronze medal at the New York International Film Festival, and in 1981, awarded a Certificate of Merit at the Chicago International Film Festival.[24]

In 1982 Olsenius left the Minneapolis Tribune to freelance and produce two books; The Minnesota Travel Companion and the Wisconsin Travel Companion. These books recounted the history along the major highways of each state. The reviewer for the Minnesota Travel Companion found the book, "Clearly organized, thoughtfully laid out and easy to use. His book is richly laced with illustrations: 160 photographs from the archives of the Minnesota Historical Society…It is altogether a first-rate job — a book that is as interesting to read at home as it is on the road."[25][26][27][28][29]

Work with National Geographic

In 1985, Olsenius began working with National Geographic on magazine stories,[30] books[31] and National Geographic Traveler Magazine.[32] His assignments took him throughout North and South America and Europe. One of his most notable trips was covering a story about the 60-foot motorsailer, Belvedere, the first American yacht to traverse the fabled Northwest Passage west to east.[33][34] The Passage is a treacherous waterway through the Arctic archipelago that links the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and has a long history of stranded ships, lost crew and failed dreams.[35][36]

Olsenius produced eight feature stories for National Geographic Magazine, with additional publication in German Geo,[37][38] and 16 National Geographic books, book chapters and Traveler articles. Three of those books were also written by Olsenius; Dog Stories (2003),[39][40][41] the National Geographic Field Guide for Digital Black and White Photography (2005)[42] and the National Geographic Field Guide for Digital Video (2007).[43]

From 1995 to 1999, Olsenius was hired as a full-time photo editor for National Geographic Magazine and as co-producer for developing the Magazine's first website.

Garrison Keillor collaboration

In 2000 Olsenius resumed his free-lance photography collaborating with American author and radio personality, Garrison Keillor, on a National Geographic Magazine story, "In Search of Lake Wobegon."[44] This was the first effort to put a face on Garrison Keillor's mythical town of Lake Wobegon.

"Before their collaboration, the'lake' had existed only in Keillor's mind and writings. But, as Olsenius's work shows, aspects of the imagery world could be found in actual life, in central Minnesota. To emphasize the link between the imaginary and the real, Olsenius used a large-format camera and black-and-white film. His approach thus united him across time with Jackson, Curtis and other pioneers of photography in the Americas," according to author, photographer, Sam Abell in Through the Lens: National Geographic Greatest Photographs.[45]

In 2001, their collaborative story was published in a book by the same name, published by Viking Studio Press. Olsenius's photography from the book was exhibited at the Edward Carter Gallery in New York, (October, 2001) the James J. Hill House, Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, Minnesota (December 2001)[46] the Betty Strong Center Encounter Center in Sioux City, Iowa[47](September 2008) and the Stearns County Museum in St. Cloud, Minnesota, (April 21 to September 30, 2002).[48]

Keith Taylor of the Chicago Tribune reviewed In Search of Lake Wobegon. "For even a casual reader or radio listener, though, the real pleasure of this book is in the photos. Now we can finally see what Lake Wobegon and its inhabitants look like. In its landscapes, its dirt roads, its farms, at the school proms, in church or at the local diner, it looks surprisingly like we thought it would. In one of Olsenius' photos with the caption "Children observing artificial insemination"...it is much like the rest of Garrison Keillor's prose: humorous, nostalgic, real, occasionally heartbreaking and touched with the sublime."[49]

Malcolm Jones, reviewing In Search of Lake Wobegon for The New York Times, wrote, "the austerely affectionate black-and-white photographs of Richard Olsenius. With accompanying text by Keillor, this elegant photo album showcases the real Minnesota towns, farmland and prairies that helped inspire Keillor's imaginary town."[50]

"As an artful evocation of Keillor's beloved invention, Richard Olsenius's elegantly composed black-and-white photographs of rural Minnesota capture the dignity of his subjects, the beauties of the landscape as well as the enduring values and eccentricities of the communities rooted there."[51]

Additional creative collaborations

In addition to his work with National Geographic, Olsenius's photography was published in other books like the Day in the Life of America (1986),[52] the 1987 Midwest Art Calendar[53][54] and numerous magazines. He was particularly interested in blending music, stills and video, publishing the book, music, CD-Rom multi-media packages — Distant Shores[55] and Arctic Odyssey[56] and the video, America's Inland Coast,[57] which was broadcast on PBS stations across the United States.

Referring to the multi-media Distant Shores, Kevin Lynch of Wisconsin's Capital Times said, "The atmospheric synthesizers and percussive effects reflect the same care and lean lyricism you find in his photos."[58]

Beginning in 2002 and continuing to 2004, Olsenius began a collaboration with media company View One, the US Army, the Korean War Commemorative Committee and the American Battle Monuments Commission to be art director for full-stage screen presentations, historical reenactments and musical tributes at the MCI Center in Washington DC. This included productions of Spirit of America,[59] the Salute to Korean War Veterans (50th Anniversary)[60] and the Tribute to a Generation celebrating the opening of the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC.[61]

Between 2002 and 2006, Olsenius teamed up with the well-known Chesapeake Bay photographer, Marion Warren, to save his iconic black-and-white images.[62] Many of Warren’s original negatives were scratched, marked up and basically unusable. Olsenius used his skills to reconstruct the images digitally to create prints that rivaled the quality of Marion’s original darkroom prints.[63] Later, Olsenius also digitized Warren’s color work to ensure its longevity and accessibility to the public. Warren’s manager, Joanie Surette, stated in an interview in the Bay Weekly that Olsenius was designated as the only photographer who could print for Marion Warren.[64] After Warren’s death in 2006, Olsenius and Surette opened the American Landscape Gallery in Eastport, Maryland offering prints and books by both photographers.[65] Today the Gallery is all online.

As part of the Art in Embassies Program, Olsenius's photography was chosen by the U.S. Department of State for permanent collections in four embassies: Bucharest, Romania; Lusaka, Zambia; Bujumbura, Burundi and Rabat, Morocco.[66]

Because Olsenius has long felt that music is an important component of the photographic moment, he has focused on developing DVD's where he can combine still imagery, video and music into one story. (See DVDs below) In 2010, Olsenius returned to his book Dog Stories, producing a DVD of the story with video, music and narration.[67]

In 2012, the US Postal Service chose a Olsenius Olsenius photo for their international mail stamp, part of their "Scenic American Landscape Series". The photo was of a morning shoreline in Voyageurs National Park.[68]

In 2015 in collaboration with writer Christine Olsenius, he produced an online long-form video story, "Last Voyage of the Sheila Yeates". Combining writing, music, audio and video interviews, film and stills, the Olsenius's tell the true story of the sinking of the 50-foot top-sail ketch, Sheila Yeates, off the coast of Greenland in 1989.[69]

Olsenius was contracted in 2016 to video edit and write a music score for the Maryland PBS documentary, Beautiful Swimmers Revisited. The film is a 40-year retrospective on the Pulitzer prize-winning book by William Warner about the Chesapeake Bay watermen and the blue crab that shape their lives.

In March, 2017, Richard and Christine Olsenius were invited to be the keynote speakers at the Schuneman Symposium at Ohio University's Scripps School of Journalism. Their speech was titled, "Balancing Creativity in a Changing Digital Landscape."[70]

Olsenius continues to photograph, film, create music and coordinate his collection of photography. Recently he has completed a photo collection from his work on the Cambodian genocide of the late 1970s under the title, Shadows in the Sun: A Cambodian Tragedy.
