Lance Shields is a photographer based in San Francisco. He was raised in the mountains of San Diego, CA, and at the age of twelve, he was introduced to photography by a science teacher. He's published three photo zines "Nothing with a Name", "Surface Tension", and "Remembering Seal Rock". He holds a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, where he studied sculpture and conceptual art. He is inspired by Rinko Kawauchi, Saul Leiter, and William Eggleston, among others, and hopes to capture the unseen treasures of everyday life while exploring the world poetically and vividly. Forty-three years after his first experiments with a camera, he continues to look through a lens to discover the unseen moments of everyday life.
