ARTHUR KLONSKY

Arthur Klonsky became a professional photographer in 1976 after a successful career in landscape design. As a landscape designer he won many awards, including two awards for beautifying America given to him by Lady Bird Johnson in Washington D.C.

Arthur, founder of the photographic team, Janeart, and more recently of Yellow Dog Productions, moved into commercial photography, when he hired a helicopter to shoot the 1976 NYC Marathon, which won him instant acclaim and set a new standard for running photography with the world famous poster image of runners crossing the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.

Working for clients from ABC to Xerox, his work has taken him from shooting from a 747 at 30,000 feet to underwater in the Caribbean, to the deserts of Kenya with the Maasai. While in Manhattan, he received numerous photographic awards for advertising and design.

His time is now divided between special projects doing productions of film and still photography, gourmet cooking, and being on the board of the Maple Street School, Southern Vt. Art Center and The Weston Playhouse.
