____________________
Osceola Refetoff‘s interest is in documenting humanity’s impact on the world – both the intersection of nature and industry, and the narratives of the people living at those crossroads. His parallel careers as an editorial and fine art photographer are characterized by an evocative, cinematic understanding of how scale, point of view, architecture, and motion can be expressed as both information and experience of a given place.
A native Chicagoan, he holds as a B.A. from Duke University and an M.F.A. from New York University's Graduate Film Program, receiving both Tisch School of the Arts and Paulette Goddard Scholarships, as well as the NYU's top graduate honor, the Warner Bros Fellowship Award. Osceola has earned multiple Outdoor Writers Association of California (OWAC) awards for Best Feature Photo, Best Photo Series, and Best Overall Photo.
Refetoff is currently OWAC's Writer of the Year and the Los Angeles Press Club's Photojournalist of the Year.
His current focus is an expansive set of portfolios surveying the human presence in the deserts of the American West, in particular High & Dry, a long-term collaboration with writer-historian Christopher Langley that is regularly syndicated on KCET's Emmy-winning program Artbound.
