Description
Born in New Rochelle, New York in 1937, Charles Steinhacker studied to be a centerfielder. His pursuit of that position led through such learned institutions as Dartmouth College and New York University. The academic trail produced a master’s degree but no job offers to work at Yankee Stadium. Thus, at age 26, Steinhacker reluctantly traded in his bat for a camera and began the first of two photography careers.
From 1963 to 1977 Charles Steinhacker was a “working photographer” whose pictures of the American landscape and its wildlife became well known from their publication in Life, National Geographic and many other leading magazines. It was also during this period that he published three large-format books of his photographs which established his reputation as one of the leading conservation photographers in the country.
Nonetheless, weary of battling with editors and publishers and compromising his aesthetic ideals, Steinhacker walked away from the profession at the height of his career in order to become a commodity futures trader. From a hill-top home overlooking Jackson Hole, Wyoming and the Teton Mountains, he traded gold, silver and soybean futures for ten years while secretly planning his return to photography - but this time on his terms.
