BIOGRAPHY

Cha Lor is a self-taught photographer based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Born in Thailand in 1993, she immigrated to the United States with her family in 1994. Her passion for photography began at the age of 13, when she received a point-and-shoot camera for her birthday. That same year, she joined In Progress in 2007, where she discovered a deeper love for the photographic arts and began developing her visual voice.

Balancing both full-time and part-time jobs, Cha continues to carve out time for photography, exploring both digital and analog formats. Since 2015, she has been working extensively with 35mm film and began shooting with 120mm film in the summer of 2016. Her images reflect a curiosity for light, composition, and mood, and often experiment with form, layering, and alternative processes.

Cha’s goal is to expand her technical and creative knowledge in film photography while connecting with other photographers and artists who share her passion for storytelling through visuals.
