I recently came across this TED talk posted on twitter by a fellow photographer.  It’s title first caught my attention, and once the speaker started her talk, I knew this was something I would want to share.  Eloquently shared by retoucher Becci Manson, she shares how her and other retouchers around the world donated their time to restoring images and memories from the Japan tsunami.  Please watch.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT yasmin

I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments.

I believe in creating images that demand to be printed—framed in fine art materials and displayed as the heirlooms they're meant to become. My approach is both editorial and intimate, capturing not just faces but the emotional landscape of your life. Each portrait is thoughtfully composed to reveal your authentic story while honoring the beauty of the world around you. Your journey is extraordinary and entirely your own, and I'm here to preserve it with the artistry it deserves.
