Dana Sharman, born in Anchorage Alaska in 1985, crafts fine art photography with a unique edge, rooted in a life of stark contrasts—from the wilderness of Alaska and Oregon to periods of homelessness and overcoming personal challenges.

His diverse background, including military service and work in various fields, enriches his perspective, enabling him to capture the irony and authenticity of the world through his lens. Dana's work, showcased in galleries worldwide and recognized by his selection as a judge at the 2023 Oregon State Fair, challenges the pursuit of perfection, focusing instead on the real, the overlooked, and the profound stories behind each image. His photographs invite viewers into a world where beauty lies in truth, encouraging a deeper exploration of the narratives that define us. Dana's compelling journey and distinctive vision make his art a powerful addition to any gallery seeking to provoke thought and engage audiences.
