Cary Wolinsky


Cary Wolinsky, owner of Trillium Studios began as a news and magazine photographer for The Boston Globe in 1968 while completing a degree in journalism at Boston University’s College of Communication. By 1972 he was freelancing for Natural History, National Geographic, Smithsonian, Newsweek, and International Wildlife.
As a contract photographer with National Geographic in the mid-1980s, Cary specialized in historical and cultural assignments that required in-depth research and well-managed global coverage. His numerous stories published by National Geographic include Silk, The Queen of Textiles; Sichuan: Where China Changes Course; Inside the Kremlin; Sir Joseph Banks; The Greening of the Empire; The Quest for Color; The Power of Writing; Australia: A Harsh Awakening; New Eyes on the Oceans; Diamonds: The Real Story; and Dreamweavers, a high-tech look at high-tech textiles.
Cary has taken a leading role in introducing quality photography to electronic publishing. He co-founded Picture Network International, an on-line photography database system. In 1997 PNI was sold to Kodak and now markets photography under the name PictureQuest. Cary’s photographs have been licensed for advertising and editorial use in hundreds of publications throughout the world. His photographic prints have been exhibited and acquired by museums and private collections in the United States, Europe, Australia and Asia.
