SAN FRANCISCO ISSUE 730 Dec 2018

Alfred Yan is a photographer based in San Francisco. He specialises in interiors and still life photography. After studying biology in college, he took an evening photography class: one thing led to another, and he found himself loading film holders and peeling Polaroids.

In 2000, Alfred moved to New York City to further his training. There, he was introduced to the world of interior photography and the beauty of natural light. Upon returning to San Francisco in 2009, he took that experience to the studio of Restoration Hardware as staff photographer.

Alfred’s clients include Anthropologie, FLOR, Mint, The New York Times and Restoration Hardware.
