ABOUT
Jasmine De Silva is a London based Photographer and Director. Combining retrofuturism, hyperreal aesthetics, pop-art style colours and diamond studded female bodies, Jasmine De Silva playfully satirises the desire for physical perfection, holding up a mirror to our own dehumanising obsession with appearances, aiming to expose society’s unrealistic standards of beauty. Jasmine studied at the London College of Fashion, completing a BA and MA in Fashion Photography. Upon graduating in 2019, Jasmine has won awards for emerging talent in both Photography and Directing. Jasmine was selected as a winner of 2022 British Journal of Photography Female in Focus Awards. She works as a freelance photographer and director for music videos, commercials and narrative, and is currently developing her debut feature film.
