Thailand Humanitarian Photo Project Featured

Just before I left for my humanitarian photo project in Thailand with The Giving Lens, I was interviewed by the local newspaper regarding the project, my transition from my previous career to photography, as well as the importance of working with girls rescued, rehabilitated or at-risk of human and sex-trafficking.  This project has been a deeply personal issue and when it was announced, I just knew it was for me.  I feel so fortunate to have been selected to be 1 of only 7 women from across the country to participate, and I will be sharing stories and images from the trip in the near future.

You can read the entire article here, and I will be posting a full version once I receive the hard copy from the reporter.  If you would like to know more about The Giving Lens or the NGO we partnered with, COSA (Children’s Organization of Southeast Asia), feel free to visit their links listed below.

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.
