His work has appeared in various publications including The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Details and Interview and has been exhibited at galleries and museums worldwide. In the past two years, Leatherdale has taken portraits in hundreds of rural villages in India in the hopes of preserving a record of tribal culture and history in the face of modernization and assimilation. A retrospective of Leatherdale's work in India opened September 21 at the Dialectica Gallery in New York City and runs for six weeks.
