Catherine DeLattre (b. 1949, Monongahela, Pennsylvania)
Catherine DeLattre grew up in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, a small town near the heavily industrial area of Pittsburg. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, she studied archaeology at Kent State where a course in basic photography was a requirement for recording in archaeological digs. That later led her to the Art Photography MA at Purdue University where the focus was on black-and-white photography, but where DeLattre became more interested in color under the influence of her teacher Vern Cheek, and the then contemporary color work of photographers such as William Eggleston, Joe Maloney, Joel Meyerowitz, Jan Groover, Eve Sonneman, and Joel Sternfeld. After a series of teaching gigs that took her from Rockport, Maine to Poughkeepsie, by 1979 DeLattre had saved enough money to move to New York City where she found a $200/month subet on the Upper West Side and a part-time job teaching darkroom at the International Center of Photography.
DeLattre lives and works in New York City and Pennsylvania.
