Kodak Lecture Series - David Trattles April 4, 2008

The Kodak Lecture Series is pleased to announce that photographer David Trattles will present a talk about his work on Friday, April 4, at 7:30 pm at Ryerson University in Toronto.

Trattles is interested in people -anything to do with them, anywhere in the world. He will go to extraordinary lengths to get top-notch photos, including running the New York City Marathon with his three cameras in order to capture the experience from inside the event.

Over the past ten years, he has cycled through over sixty countries, producing photographic essays on rural Newfoundlanders, urban Inuit of Ottawa, unemployed Germans living as full-time cowboys in former Eastern Germany, tomato throwers of Buñol, people of Novara and Balzan, and, most recently, Muslim women boxers in India. This work is currently being exhibited at the Stainless Gallery in New Delhi.

His work has been published in Canadian Geographic, MacLean’s, Elle, the Arctic Journal, and the Globe and Mail. He has shot for the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the federal government’s Department of Heritage and Multiculturalism. In 1997 his work was nominated for a Canadian Magazine Award and has been exhibited internationally.
