Born to Korean immigrant parents, Tesia Han is a biliterate dual citizen of South Korea and the United States. Based in the Bay Area of California, she began pursuing photography at the relatively young age of 19. She is currently studying at Pratt Institute and is expected to graduate with a major in Photography and a minor in Philosophy in May 2026.

Her personal work reveals a deep appreciation for light and minimalism. She captures fleeting moments with intention, using light as both subject and storyteller. Her thoughtful use of color adds quiet emotion, bringing subtle depth to each frame.

Inspired by nature and the shifting qualities of light, her images evoke a gentle sense of beauty, one that invites the viewer to slow down and take notice.

Although photography is her primary medium, music is one of the central forces in her creative life. She is deeply invested in it not only as a listener, but as someone who actively follows, obsesses over, and emotionally lives through it. Because of this, her sensitivity to rhythm, mood, and emotional texture often carries into the way she photographs everyday life.

Her curiosity and personality have also made her proficient in multiple areas of photography, including street, landscape, lifestyle, portraiture, and still life. She has also taught herself subjects outside of photography , such as music, calligraphy, cooking, and many more.
