Lighting Over Las Vegas

We are officially in monsoon season here in Las Vegas.  I always feel odd saying that because Las Vegas only gets about 4″ of rain a year, but alas those little rains tend to produce massive flash floods here in the Valley along with a few lighitng and thunder storms.  Our lighting storms are not nearly as spectacular as those in Arizona, but I did happen to catch some of those light beams criss-crossing our skies just the other night.  It was early evening and typically when it rains I try to stay home so as not to get caught in a flash flood or an accident.  And when I could see the flashes of lightening illuminating my bedroom as I tried to watch tv, I knew I had to run downstairs and grab my tripod and gear.  I set up right next to the sliding glass door in my bedroom, just off the balcony and started shooting.  Of course there were a few hits and misses, but I'm pretty happy with this one.  if you look closesly you can barely see the Luxor light on the right side of the frame too.

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.
