Tobin Yelland

Since the age of fifteen, photographer and filmmaker Tobin Yelland has been steadily documenting the shadowy existence of youth and its vestiges in day-to-day life. First published in Thrasher magazine, Yelland’s work has expanded beyond the world of skateboarding, becoming a collection of images that lend voice to an entire generation, transcending many locales and social identities. Yelland’s photographs have been exhibited worldwide, including the Luggage Store, Deitch Projects, Thread Waxing Space, White Columns, The Institute for Contemporary Art Philadelphia, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. They have also been featured in publications such as Visionaire, Tokion, Spin, and the New York Times. His films include the documentary Beautiful Losers, music videos for High on Fire, Chemical Brothers, Apples in Stereo, and commercials for Nike, MTV, and DC Shoes. He currently lives and works in New York City. The JDK Gallery, in association with Seth Neary/Driven Studio, invites everyone to attend the show opening on Friday, October 2, at 6 pm. Performances by Swale and Rough Francis begin at 8 pm.
