Hi! i'm alana

Blessed to be born and raised in upcountry Maui, I grew up surrounded by tremendous natural beauty. I studied media and fine arts at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and graduated with a BFA in photography. After a few years in the city, I moved to Binghamton, New York where I currently live with my husband and daughter.

I've shot professionally for over 17 years and recently opened a small photography studio with my husband Francisco. We are passionate about creating a beautiful space to support other photographers and creatives in the area.

Alana Davis creates color images that imply rather than illustrate a narrative. They hint at memories, ones that we all share even if the specifics differ. The delicate details of inanimate objects, the subtle aspects of landscapes and the sensitive rendering of quiet interiors, usually shot in the golden glow of early morning or late afternoon, evoke stillness, romance and intimacy. In each photograph, with its warm, beautiful light and subdued color palette, Davis unearths the poetic and the abstract from the ordinary and the every day; the mundane becomes infused with the mysterious. Lone figures, their bodies turned away from the camera or their faces obscured by shadows, sometime appear in her work but they are utterly unaware of the photographer's presence or the role they play in sparking our recollections.
