(TORONTO) Studio Gallery recently launched Patrick O’Dell’s, To All My Friends photography exhibit which takes place from Friday, June 27 until Wednesday, July 23.  The exhibition is an intimate collection of photographs based on O’Dell’s widely popular and ground-breaking online photo-journal and television show, Epicly Later’d.  To All My Friends showcases images of both film and digital media, photographs captured in leisure and in work, which illustrate an honest and genuine documentation of skaters skating, hangers hanging, and up-too-late, out-too-often night dwellers doing what comes naturally.
Named by Vice Magazine as “the most important person in skateboarding who doesn’t skateboard”, O’Dell travels globally on skate tours with many of the world’s most famous and talented skateboarders. In his frequent updates to Epicly Later’d, O’Dell’s photographs go beyond the sport of skateboarding and intimately document the camaraderie of skate culture.

Patrick O’Dell was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and is currently based in New York City. Over the course of his career, his portfolio has expanded to include photographs of the likes of Lil’ Wayne, Chloe Sevigny, Jerry Hsu, Death Cab for Cutie, Ben Chow, Leo Fitzpatrick, and Cat Power. In addition to being a Senior Photographer at Thrasher Skateboard Magazine and Photo Editor of Vice Magazine, his work has been featured in fashion and cultural publications such as V Magazine, Self-Service, Nylon, and Tokion. He has also collaborated with Altamont Clothing to create a fashion line featuring his images. O’Dell’s past group exhibitions include Nike’s “Being True- 22 Years of American Youth” (2008), and The Standard Hotel’s “200 Troubled Teenagers” (2007). His most recent career achievement is directing a music video for Morrissey (The Smiths).
