        Flip Schulke, Gymnast Sofia Muratova, Olympics, c. 1963

        Est: $600 - $800

        Flip Schulke, Gymnast Sofia Muratova, Olympics, c. 1963, Vintage gelatin silver print, 12.25" x 10.25". Number stamped on verso. Pageant Magazine scans for reference only. Artist Biography: Flip Schulke, a native of New Ulm, Minnesota and a 1954 graduate of Macalester College, has been taking photographs for fifty-five years, ever since he received a Kodak “Baby Brownie Special” camera when he was fifteen years old. Working most of his career as a freelance photographer, Schulke has earned national and international accolades as a photojournalist. He received his first formal training as a photojournalist at Macalester, where he was a journalism major and photographer for the school yearbook and the Mac Weekly. Within a few years after graduating from Macalester, Schulke was shooting for such prestigious magazines as Life, National Geographic, and Ebony. He has been represented by Black Star Picture Agency since 1953. Acclaimed for his photographs of Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy, Schulke is most famous for his photo documentation of the U.S. civil rights movement. Schulke spent much of the next decade traveling with and photographing Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders. Much of his work in this area is documented in three of his books—Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Documentary, Montgomery to Memphis (1976); King Remembered (1986); and He Had a Dream (1995). All books are published by W. W. Norton & Company and are still in print. At the same time he was being recognized domestically for his work in the civil rights movement, Schulke was also earning an international reputation as a pioneer in underwater photography, a skill he began developing in 1955. Never just a “fish photographer,” Schulke applied his photojournalist skills to the underwater environment, primarily photographing people working or playing underwater. He was the principal photojournalist for many underwater scientific studies, including archaeological, paleontological, and biological projects that took him to marine and freshwater environments around the world, from the South Pacific to Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, often with French explorer Jacques Cousteau. Much of Schulke's reputation in underwater photography comes from his contributions to the technology required to do this sort of photography. Dissatisfied with the optical distortions produced by the wide angle lenses he normally used to photograph underwater stories, Schulke pioneered the dome ports that are now standard equipment in the industry. These ports eliminated most of the optical distortion produced by the wide angle lenses, thereby transforming the field of underwater photojournalism by allowing photographers to shoot panoramic as well as close up scenes. His book Underwater Photography for Everyone (Prentice-Hall, 1976) was the authoritative source for the general underwater photographer for more than a decade. Schulke has been the recipient of many prestigious honors and awards, including: 1995, the Crystal Eagle Award for Impact in Photojournalism, from the National Press Photographer Association; 1986, First Annual New York State Martin Luther King, Jr. Medal of Freedom; 1983, Golden Trident, from the Government of Italy for his accomplishments in underwater photography; and 1967, Underwater Photographer of the Year—USA, from the International Underwater film and photography competition, Santa Monica, California. Schulke's most recent book is Muhammad Ali: The Birth of a Legend, Miami, 1961-1964 (St. Martin's, 2000). Schulke is also finishing a book on his photographic career and a book on the history of the Berlin Wall from 1962 through 1999. His literary agent is Jennifer Lyons of Writers House, New York City. Schulke's entire photo archive of approximately a half million original photographs will reside after four years at the Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin. A large number of the original color slides and black-and-white negatives will be transferred to CD-ROM and will be available through the Center. Formal and informal print exhibitions will travel throughout the United States and abroad from late 1999. (University of Texas, Austin)

        Flip Schulke, Astronaut Ron McNair preparing to take underwater training photos of "weightless" space suit training, 1984, C-print, 12" x 8". Artist's credit affixed to verso. Caption and date in ink on verso. Artist Biography: Flip Schulke, a native of New Ulm, Minnesota and a 1954 graduate of Macalester College, has been taking photographs for fifty-five years, ever since he received a Kodak “Baby Brownie Special” camera when he was fifteen years old. Working most of his career as a freelance photographer, Schulke has earned national and international accolades as a photojournalist. He received his first formal training as a photojournalist at Macalester, where he was a journalism major and photographer for the school yearbook and the Mac Weekly. Within a few years after graduating from Macalester, Schulke was shooting for such prestigious magazines as Life, National Geographic, and Ebony. He has been represented by Black Star Picture Agency since 1953. Acclaimed for his photographs of Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy, Schulke is most famous for his photo documentation of the U.S. civil rights movement. Schulke spent much of the next decade traveling with and photographing Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders. Much of his work in this area is documented in three of his books—Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Documentary, Montgomery to Memphis (1976); King Remembered (1986); and He Had a Dream (1995). All books are published by W. W. Norton & Company and are still in print. At the same time he was being recognized domestically for his work in the civil rights movement, Schulke was also earning an international reputation as a pioneer in underwater photography, a skill he began developing in 1955. Never just a “fish photographer,” Schulke applied his photojournalist skills to the underwater environment, primarily photographing people working or playing underwater. He was the principal photojournalist for many underwater scientific studies, including archaeological, paleontological, and biological projects that took him to marine and freshwater environments around the world, from the South Pacific to Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, often with French explorer Jacques Cousteau. Much of Schulke's reputation in underwater photography comes from his contributions to the technology required to do this sort of photography. Dissatisfied with the optical distortions produced by the wide angle lenses he normally used to photograph underwater stories, Schulke pioneered the dome ports that are now standard equipment in the industry. These ports eliminated most of the optical distortion produced by the wide angle lenses, thereby transforming the field of underwater photojournalism by allowing photographers to shoot panoramic as well as close up scenes. His book Underwater Photography for Everyone (Prentice-Hall, 1976) was the authoritative source for the general underwater photographer for more than a decade. Schulke has been the recipient of many prestigious honors and awards, including: 1995, the Crystal Eagle Award for Impact in Photojournalism, from the National Press Photographer Association; 1986, First Annual New York State Martin Luther King, Jr. Medal of Freedom; 1983, Golden Trident, from the Government of Italy for his accomplishments in underwater photography; and 1967, Underwater Photographer of the Year—USA, from the International Underwater film and photography competition, Santa Monica, California.

These ports eliminated most of the optical distortion produced by the wide angle lenses, thereby transforming the field of underwater photojournalism by allowing photographers to shoot panoramic as well as close up scenes. His book Underwater Photography for Everyone (Prentice-Hall, 1976) was the authoritative source for the general underwater photographer for more than a decade. Schulke has been the recipient of many prestigious honors and awards, including: 1995, the Crystal Eagle Award for Impact in Photojournalism, from the National Press Photographer Association; 1986, First Annual New York State Martin Luther King, Jr. Medal of Freedom; 1983, Golden Trident, from the Government of Italy for his accomplishments in underwater photography; and 1967, Underwater Photographer of the Year—USA, from the International Underwater film and photography competition, Santa Monica, California. Schulke's most recent book is Muhammad Ali: The Birth of a Legend, Miami, 1961-1964 (St. Martin's, 2000). Schulke is also finishing a book on his photographic career and a book on the history of the Berlin Wall from 1962 through 1999. His literary agent is Jennifer Lyons of Writers House, New York City.

        Flip Schulke, Car Racing, 1st American G.P. Sebring, 1959, Vintage gelatin silver print, 13.25" x 9.25". Artist's credit affixed to verso. Artist's credit for Black Star stamped on verso. Title, details, and date in pen on verso. Artist Biography: Flip Schulke, a native of New Ulm, Minnesota and a 1954 graduate of Macalester College, has been taking photographs for fifty-five years, ever since he received a Kodak “Baby Brownie Special” camera when he was fifteen years old. Working most of his career as a freelance photographer, Schulke has earned national and international accolades as a photojournalist. He received his first formal training as a photojournalist at Macalester, where he was a journalism major and photographer for the school yearbook and the Mac Weekly. Within a few years after graduating from Macalester, Schulke was shooting for such prestigious magazines as Life, National Geographic, and Ebony. He has been represented by Black Star Picture Agency since 1953. Acclaimed for his photographs of Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy, Schulke is most famous for his photo documentation of the U.S. civil rights movement. Schulke spent much of the next decade traveling with and photographing Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders. Much of his work in this area is documented in three of his books—Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Documentary, Montgomery to Memphis (1976); King Remembered (1986); and He Had a Dream (1995). All books are published by W. W. Norton & Company and are still in print. At the same time he was being recognized domestically for his work in the civil rights movement, Schulke was also earning an international reputation as a pioneer in underwater photography, a skill he began developing in 1955. Never just a “fish photographer,” Schulke applied his photojournalist skills to the underwater environment, primarily photographing people working or playing underwater. He was the principal photojournalist for many underwater scientific studies, including archaeological, paleontological, and biological projects that took him to marine and freshwater environments around the world, from the South Pacific to Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, often with French explorer Jacques Cousteau.

        Flip Schulke, Scuba Diver, c. 1960, Vintage gelatin silver print, 14" x 9.5". Number stamped and in pencil on verso. One of the nation’s premier photojournalists, Flip Schulke spent decades chronicling the triumphs and tragedies of American life. He was born in 1930 and began taking photographs as a high school student in New Ulm, Minnesota – where he acquired his distinctive nickname “Flip” from an early interest in gymnastics. After graduating from Macalester College in St. Paul, he settled in Florida, where he had spent part of his childhood. After teaching for a short time at the University of Miami, Flip launched his career as a freelance photographer, working for Life magazine and many other major U.S. and European publications. He covered Cuban revolution of Fidel Castro, space launches, hurricanes, and leading entertainers and athletes of the time. As early as 1956, Flip began to cover the emerging civil rights movement in the South. His long friendship with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., forged during an all-night conversation in 1958, led Flip to photograph the movement from a deeply intimate point of view. At great risk, he captured many of the signature moments in the nation’s struggle for civil rights in the 1960s. His courageous role as a photographer has been recounted in The Race Beat, a Pulitzer Prize-winning history of journalists covering the civil rights movement, and in several documentary films. Flip’s personal collection of 11,000 photographs of Dr. King and his family, now housed at the University of Texas, is the largest in the world. He shot more than half-a-million images during his lifetime and won almost every award in photography. Several of his photographs have been cited as among the most striking and memorable of the 20th century. In addition to his powerful work chronicling civil rights, Flip created indelible images of President John F. Kennedy, boxer Muhammad Ali and astronauts in the early years of the space program. He was also a pioneer in underwater photography, traveling around the world with Jacques Cousteau and other explorers to capture the beauty of life under the sea. He remained an active photojournalist until his death on May 15, 2008, at age 77. (FlipSchulke.com).

        Flip Schulke, Water Skier, c. 1960, Gelatin silver print, 11" x 14". Artist's credit affixed to verso. One of the nation’s premier photojournalists, Flip Schulke spent decades chronicling the triumphs and tragedies of American life. He was born in 1930 and began taking photographs as a high school student in New Ulm, Minnesota – where he acquired his distinctive nickname “Flip” from an early interest in gymnastics. After graduating from Macalester College in St. Paul, he settled in Florida, where he had spent part of his childhood. After teaching for a short time at the University of Miami, Flip launched his career as a freelance photographer, working for Life magazine and many other major U.S. and European publications. He covered Cuban revolution of Fidel Castro, space launches, hurricanes, and leading entertainers and athletes of the time. As early as 1956, Flip began to cover the emerging civil rights movement in the South. His long friendship with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., forged during an all-night conversation in 1958, led Flip to photograph the movement from a deeply intimate point of view. At great risk, he captured many of the signature moments in the nation’s struggle for civil rights in the 1960s. His courageous role as a photographer has been recounted in The Race Beat, a Pulitzer Prize-winning history of journalists covering the civil rights movement, and in several documentary films.
