The photographs of the husband and wife team, John and Cassidy Olson, present our universe in its most pure and elemental forms whether depicting the vast natural almost-architectural wonders of our environment or more modern photography’s subjects. Every aspect of the photo is magical – but magically real – for their photographs let us see the mystical, musical and empyrean aura of our true reality. John and Cassidy Olson demonstrate that the photographer is always in complete control of every detail and minutia, ‘painting with light’ just as a painter works with brushes and paints. As these artists say, “light is the challenge, the opportunity and the essence of photography.”
The artistic journey of these Connecticut-based photographers is recorded in a near documentary style, with inspiration being drawn from such photographic luminaries as Ansel Adams and Ernst Haas. Inspired by design, architecture, and form, both natural and man-made, John and Cassidy Olson create stunning photographic images of the highest quality. Traveling extensively to various parts of the United States for their exceptional landscape images, they also find beauty in designed architecture and forms in relatively common items. These elements are key components to all of their images. Their cameras are akin to passports, allowing each image by these masterful artists to take the viewer on yet another visual safari.
All of their images employ unique vision and use of light to create their signature style. Sharpness, attention to detail, color accuracy, and dramatic composition are present in every image. The landscape images are created to invite the viewer to revisit a particular location, experience the splendor anew and witness it in a completely different light. Images featuring design elements and forms boldly draw the viewer to experience striking detail often in obvious subjects that otherwise often go unnoticed.
John and Cassidy Olson are renowned professional photographers with decades worth of combined photographic experience. Their work has been published in countless nationally selling periodicals and soft and hardcover books. They have achieved much notoriety with their award winning images. They are unified in saying “art surrounds us every day in every way. The true joy in life is to see the beauty within every artistic opportunity. The ability to see light as the camera will record it is paramount to our technique. Realizing that manipulation of light and/or exhaustive patience is critical, our images are a result of not only seeing photographic opportunity but of deliberate process. Design – natural or manmade – unify the images that we create.”
