SD was born in California and received a degree in photography from Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
SD Holman is a photo-based artist who has exhibited internationally at galleries including the Advocate Gallery (Los Angeles), the Soady-Campbell Gallery (New York), the San Francisco Public Library, the Helen Pitt International Gallery, Charles H. Scott, Exposure, and Fotobase Galleries (Vancouver).
Holman defines as a non-commercial photo-based artist, a participant-observer employing subjective conceptual documentary practice. Holman’s approach to photography is conflicted and perverse, bringing gesture, hazard, and a painterly sensibility into this most technical of media. Hailed by Guy Warrington as “the best portrait photographer in Vancouver,” Holman is also the artistic director of the Queer Arts Festival, a professional three-week multidisciplinary arts festival in Vancouver, BC.
