Kelly Stohr (b. 1997) is a self-taught photographer from the Hudson Valley. In her adolescence, she made images in parking lots and apple orchards with whatever camera she could find, but currently works with medium format, 35mm, and toy cameras. Among her largest inspirations are Justine Kurland, Alessandra Sanguinetti, and Nancy Rexroth.

Having made most of her photography while juggling a full time corporate job, Kelly’s work is often underscored by themes of identity, stability, and longing. She is currently focused on a project about her mother’s hometown, and the hidden memories in its landscapes.

Kelly’s poetry has been featured in Vagabond City Lit, Fifth Wheel Press, Third Iris Zine, and GLITCHWORDS.
