Celeste Noche

Noche is based between Portland, Oregon and San Francisco, California and specializes in food, travel and portraiture. Using a mix of digital, medium format, 35mm and instant film photography, Celeste’s work documents the legacies of forced migration, assimilation, and how we change with displacement. The mix of photographic mediums is a callback to the mementos her family lost upon fleeing the Philippines, and their continued displacement after settling in America. Her work has been published in NPR, The Washington Post and The New York Times. She is the founder of Portland in Color, a collective highlighting BIPOC creatives in Portland, and lives in a 111 year old house with her husband, toddler and two cats.
