In the late 1960s and early 1970s, she studied archaeology at Kent State, where a course in basic photography was a requirement for recording archaeological digs. Her subsequent interest in photography led her to pursue a masters in art photography at Purdue University. While the program emphasized black-and-white photography, DeLattre became more interested in color under the influence of her teacher Vern Cheek, drawing inspiration from contemporaries like William Eggleston, Joe Maloney, Joel Meyerowitz, Jan Groover, Eve Sonneman, and Joel Sternfeld. In 1979, after a series of teaching gigs that took her from Maine to upstate New York, DeLattre settled in New York City, where she began \u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eteaching photography and darkroom at the\u003c\/span\u003e International Center of Photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eDeLattre lives and works in New York City and Pennsylvania.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-great-wide-open","title":"The Great Wide Open","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRE-ORDER ONLY \/ SHIPPING MID MAY \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst edition of The Great Wide Open by Catherine DeLattre (2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eHardback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e240 x 240 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e96 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e62 images\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003eEssay by Cay Sophie Rabinowitz \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Special edition with Prints\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach print is in an edition of 20 numbered and stamped copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a signed and numbered artist label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on Hahnemühle Pearl paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint size: approx. 23 x 15cm including white border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note that the special edition will go up in price in increments as the edition sells through\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout \u003cem\u003eThe Great Wide Open\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCatherine DeLattre’s photographic work is characterized by quiet observation, stillness, and what can be described as “empathetic neutrality.” Alongside her career as a film still photographer, she has developed a practice focused on vernacular subjects: barns, vehicles, homes, and roadside elements in rural landscapes. Her images present these scenes without intervention, inviting viewers to find emotional meaning through attentive looking and an awareness of time passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOriginally from Pennsylvania, DeLattre discovered photography while studying archaeology at Kent State University, where a required course led her to pursue the medium more seriously. She later studied at Purdue University, where she shifted from black-and-white to color photography under the influence of figures such as William Eggleston and Stephen Shore. After teaching in Maine and New York, she moved to New York City in 1979, working at the International Center of Photography and photographing everyday urban life with a similarly observational approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eToday, dividing her time between New York City and rural Pennsylvania, DeLattre documents landscapes shaped by human presence. Though her work shares the visual restraint of New Topographics, it departs from its detachment, offering instead a humanist, empathetic engagement with place and a subtle reflection on belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine DeLattre","offers":[{"title":"Regular (Unsigned)","offer_id":57220645454206,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special With “Equinunk Pennsylvania 2019” Print","offer_id":57220645519742,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special With “Rock Lake Pennsylvania 2018” Print","offer_id":57220645585278,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Special With “Fallsdale Pennsylvania 2019” Print","offer_id":57220645552510,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/catherine-delattre-the-great-wide-open-with-3-prints.jpg?v=1775656140"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/collections\/STENCH.webp?v=1775646652","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/collections\/catherine-delattre.oembed","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
