Hi, I’m Jasmin.

Based in London, England
As a child, I became obsessed with my dad’s Kodak camera with a patinaed brown leather case. He bought it as a young Indian man in Ethiopia and brought it with him when he immigrated to Wisconsin. With it, I took my first photograph when I was 5. By the time I was in college, I knew I had no other choice: I had to be a photographer. And I still have my dad’s camera, one of my prized possessions.
Originally from the US, with a recent 6 years living as a nomad worldwide, going from shoot to shoot and living anywhere between, I’m now based in London. No matter where I am, my goal is to tell people’s stories and show how they live. My curiosity for people has driven my 25-year freelance career. Whether a project is one photo or 20, images have the power to make us pause and think, laugh, and cry. I’ve sought those moments and those feelings my entire life.
Some of my clients include: The New York Times, AFAR Magazine, ESPN, Serial Productions and more.
