WHO I AM

My name is Sherman Yu, a scientist during the day and a movement artist and athlete by night. Based in San Francisco, California and raised in Sacramento.

Sherman is a pole and aerial artist based in San Francisco, CA. He started his pole journey in 2020 and was awarded 1st in Professional Art at Pole Theatre USA in 2026 and placed 3rd in Men’s Professional Championship at PSO U.S. Nationals in 2025. His passion for pole eventually led him to discover Flying Pole and Chinese Pole.

He performed in various shows such as the Vertical.show produced by Pink Puma, at the Hong Kong AIA Carnival, and Enchanté by Aries Moon Circus (AMC). He currently teaches regular classes at Songbird Dance South City.

I started photography in 2016 and have continued honing my skill and personal style through collaboration with other photographers. What started as a class in college became a hobby that eventually turned into a passion. I would love to capture you in your most treasured memories and tell your stories through my lens. I specialize in portraits, dance movement, pets, and product photography.
