Dave Hanson Photography

      Dave Hanson is an American photographer and visual artist from Price, Utah, whose work reflects a lifelong fascination with creativity and self-expression. Drawn to art from an early age, he discovered his passion for photography while studying in college during the mid-1980s. That experience sparked a career spanning more than three decades, defined by curiosity, experimentation, and a deeply personal artistic vision. For Hanson, photography is more than documenting a moment. It is a visual autobiography shaped by the people, places, and experiences encountered throughout life. Inspired by creatives across every discipline, he believes that every artist begins by learning from others before ultimately developing a voice uniquely their own. This philosophy continues to guide his evolving body of work. Working across digital, film, and historic alternative photographic processes, Hanson creates images that celebrate unexpected perspectives and reveal beauty in both familiar and overlooked subjects. His portfolio spans portraits, landscapes, and the enduring relationship between humanity and the environment, each photograph reflecting his commitment to finding fresh ways of seeing the world. Since 2005, Hanson's work has been featured in more than 300 solo and group exhibitions across the United States and internationally. His photographs invite viewers to slow down, look closer, and connect with the stories, emotions, and creative possibilities found in everyday life. Through every image, Hanson strives to transform ordinary moments into enduring works of art that reflect both his personal journey and the universal experience of seeing the world with curiosity.
