Jasmine Skye

Thirteen years ago I was that mum with a camera who randomly decided to start a photography business whilst on maternity leave from paediatric nursing -despite not knowing much about photography or business!

I have always been obsessed with portraits, and still shoot maternity, newborn, family and weddings- but I am most well known for my underwater art- publishing my first book, solo exhibition, and winning awards such as Portrait Photographer of the Year two years in a row and overall WA Photographer of the Year all with underwater portraiture have been career highlights.

I am now enjoying sharing my knowledge with other photographers, and pushing the creative limits not physically possible on land.
