Working primarily with photography, Aaron Friend Lettner traverses the crossways of memory, culture and place. His work is distinguished by its esoteric flair and is, above all, a ritual act through which seen and unseen worlds elide. 

An intuitive bookmaker, Aaron received the inaugural Burtynsky Photobook Grant in 2016 and a Canadian national book design award from the Alcuin Society in 2021. His books are held at the Deutsches Buchund Schriftmuseum (German Museum of Books and Writing) and The Special Collections and Rare Books division at Canada’s Simon Fraser University. 

Aaron has been featured in the CONTACT and Capture Photography Festivals; selected for residencies through The Rooms Museum in St. John’s, Newfoundland and the City of Vancouver; and commissioned for a public artwork by the City of Richmond. Adjacently, he infuses his experience as an image- and bookmaker into programs that supply youth with skills related to visual storytelling.
