Dan Herrera

Bio

Dan Herrera is an imagemaker and educator living and working out of Sacramento, CA. Inspired by the power of objects as a means to tell a story, he creates photographs with robust physical qualities that often transcend what can be communicated on a digital screen. His studio practice merges narrative photography with intentional methods of historical, contemporary, and alternative photographic production.

His national publication record includes college-level academic textbooks, most recently The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes, 3rd Edition, 2015, and Light & Lens: Photography in the Digital Age, 3rd Edition, 2018. Exhibitions of his work have appeared at SOHO Photo in New York, the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, including a solo show at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art.

As a lecturer in the California State University system, he teaches a wide range of analog, alternative process, and commercial photography courses. His teaching experience extends beyond the classroom where he also facilitates private workshops on his unique approach to image making. This includes collaborative peer-teaching workshops that address principles of mindful looking and the action of light – using accessible, low-tech methods to create photograms, cyanotypes, and experimental plant-based printing methods.
