Anna Min is an American photographer.

Min is a Korean American born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and raised in Riverside Plaza by her mother. Min attended South High School where they were homecoming queen. They served as secretary of the District 202 board until 2005. They graduated from Macalester College in 2009 with a degree in economics and statistics.

Min served on the board of directors of Rainbow Health Initiative since 2008. They are a member of the social change fund committee of the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota and joined the board of PFund in 2010.

They began taking photos in 2008 because they saw a need for diverse representation in photography and capture a more broad reflection of the community around them. Anna Min is self-taught.

Min is the founder of Min Enterprises Photography in 2010, and their portfolio includes many large-scale events like Pride, Queertopia, Take Back the Night, marriage amendment rallies, and the National Conference on Creating Change. Min has remarked that approximately 90% of their work is underpaid. Min's work focuses on grassroots groups that otherwise could not afford professional level photography and is often overlooked regarding mainstream publicity. They were invited by Mu Performing Arts to a conversation about the Ordway's production of Miss Saigon and later became involved in a campaign critical of the production. Min documented the Black Lives Matter protest at the Mall of America and created a photo essay that appeared in Gazillion Voices Magazine.

In 2015, Min had their first photography show and print sale at the Cafe Southside.

Min is a digital photographer, not a film photographer. Min is also known for using an aerial drone for video and photos.
