Chesoen is not just a photographer — he is a poet of light. His imagery, rich in depth and

emotion, offers more than beauty. It invites you to pause, feel, and remember.

With a heart full of passion and a lens attuned to both light and emotion, Chesoen Tan

transforms fleeting moments into timeless poetry.

​

An alumnus of The Photography Institute and a devoted student of his craft, Chesoen

understands that a photograph can do more than preserve — it can transport. A true master of

analog photography, Chesoen works across multiple formats - 35mm, medium format,

and large format film — choosing his tools with intention, guided by the mood of each

story. Not only does he photograph on film, but he also develops it by hand — a tactile ritual

that deepens his connection with every image he creates. It's this process — slow, soulful, and

intentional — that allows him to create photographs that feel as timeless as the love and

life they reflect.

​

His works have been featured in published books and gallery exhibitions, and continue to speak

quietly yet powerfully to those who encounter them.
