Anna-Rhesa Versola, Producer and Photographer
I believe in kindness, hearty belly laughs, and following your curiosity to discover new people, places, or perspectives.
I love getting to know people and capturing their spirit and energy through the lens.
Rhesa is a creative producer and photographer based in Chatham County, NC. She was born in Manila, Philippines, grew up in North Carolina, and worked as a newspaper reporter in the Carolinas and Texas. She is co-author of an award-winning book, Children from Australia to Zimbabwe: A Photographic Journey Around the World. And, she founded Southern Mix, a project that collects oral histories of Asians and Asian Americans in the South. The project sits with the Southern Oral History Program, part of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Most recently, Rhesa has fun being a producer for Chasing Frames with Tamara Lackey, a series now showing on UNC-TV. The series uses photography to highlight people who protect our planet, transform lives, and rescue those in need.
