Rich Maciejewski

After earning a journalism degree from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, I began photographing at the Baraboo News Republic and later at the Plymouth Review, documenting daily life in small-town Wisconsin of the 1970's and early '80's.
In 1983 I joined Kohler Co. where I served as a staff photographer and photo supervisor for more than three decades. Today my photography involves Wisconsin art and environment, and assignment work from select clients. I live in Madison, WI.
Recent work is featured in Lenore Tawney Mirror of the Universe published by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (JMKAC) in association with The University of Chicago Press (see here), which won the 2019 George Wittenborn Memorial Book Award, and Eugene Von Bruenchenhein Mythologies, also published in collaboration with JMKAC.
A selection from my project Genius Loci is currently on display at the Art+Literature Lab art center in Madison. The River, Photographing the Lower Wisconsin, was featured there in 2024. Additionally, The Driftless Region will be on display at the Open Spaces Gallery in Sheboygan now through later 2026. You can arrange viewing by contacting me.
