Presentation - Bob Studzinski

Robert’s

emphasis in his own work is about people in

their lived environments and contexts. His 30

years of work experiences with juvenile felons

helped inform his point of view about they way

people live. He has spent over 40 years “in the

wilds,” exploring “endangered peoples” and

the ways they live a “cultural past, alive in the

present.” Robert will share “anthropologies”

experiences and photography of many

interesting people encountered in their natural

habitats. His body of work is an excellent

demonstration of in-the-field portraits that

reflect “the style of” some artists in our April

competition list. His travels have included

Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Laos,

Mali, Bolivia, Mexico, Haiti, the Italian

Piedmont, Ethiopia, South Africa, Poland,

Trinidad and Tobago, Ecuador, and post-

Katrina Mississippi. His works include images

of Ohio juveniles on probation, refugees, and

disaster survivors. A small sample of his work

is available to view on Lensculture’s website

studzinski). In addition, he currently has an

exhibit at the Kendal Gallery (Oberlin College)

called “Eyewitness on a Path Less Taken.”
