About
Lance Shields is a lens-based artist living 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 his science teacher. He holds a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, where he studied sculpture. He has published three photo zines "Nothing with a Name", "Surface Tension", and "Remembering Seal Rock". He is inspired by photographers Gregory Halpern, Saul Leiter, and William Eggleston, to name a few. Shields seeks to look through a lens to discover the beauty in the overlooked moments of everyday life. When not taking photographs, he works as a design director at Adobe.
