RECENT WORK AND MUSINGS
Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you, the symphonic metal band Ashentide! This band hails from Los Angeles and features one very special woman on keyboards. This lady, Anastasia, Fury of the Tundra, is my sister-in-law, and last December invited me to Los Angeles to photograph her band. I was completely ecstatic and excited […]
You may recall a brief sneak peek I posted about Anchal recently looking all beautiful, gorgeous and poised in her purple sari at Lake Las Vegas.

Photoshop World 2011. Wow, what can I say? It's absolutely buzzing with excitement, lectures, photoshoots, networking, meeting new contacts and hanging out with old friends. This was my first experience surrounding PSW and I have to ask myself, why haven't I attended before? My exposure this year was brought in conjunction with the local SmugMug […]

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.
