A little about me

Hey!
I'm Jasmin, a photographer from Cape Town, South Africa. I recently returned after living and working in Berlin for four years. My German and Sierra Leonian heritage gives me a diverse perspective on my work, but also on life in general.
I graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine Art (UCT), with an Honours degree in photography. This Fine Art training is the foundation of my work; it deeply informs my image-making and attention to composition, colour, and detail.

My commercial practice encompasses food photography, commissioned fashion editorials, and event photography. While based in Berlin, I gained deep, intensive experience covering wide variety of events, from high energy concerts, to family festivals, to stylish corporate events, to formal conferences (even some in the German Chancellery!). Throughout my career, I've enjoyed collaborating with fantastic brands like Shana Morland, Judith Atelier, and Skin Creamery and have also been privileged to capture personalities such as Janelle Monáe, The Teskey Brothers, Omah Lay, Son Little and others.

When I’m not behind the lens, I like to pick up a good book, explore nature, or simply enjoy the process of cooking and baking something delicious for friends (or just myself!).

My intention is always to create compelling visual narratives. As a photographer, my work is always imbued with a sense of purposeful representation and a strong visual aesthetic that emphasizes rich, vibrant colours and luxurious textures.

I'm always excited to make connections! If you have a project, an event, or just want to chat, please don't hesitate to reach out — I’d love to hear from you!
