San Francisco | Chicago | Michigan | China

Award-winning photographer Jasmine Wang is a well-traveled artist whose mission is to translate human dimension into visual artistry. From covering France for Le Monde, Asia for The Globe and Mail, Canadian Television, The Christian Science Monitor, The Wall Street Journal, or photographing cultural events and book projects for publications such as Randaom House (US), China Review (UK) and De Agostini (Italy), her credentials are impressive.

Wedding Photography - weddings touch the romantic spot in Jasmine’s heart that celebrates dreams of love fulfilled. Her wedding albums display lovely tribute to the spirit of marriage unions. She takes time to get to know each couple so that she can portray their unique chemistry. On the day of the wedding, she stays calm and focused even when surrounded by a profusion of anxiety, chaos, and high animation. Like a behind the scenes magician, Jasmine conjures up stunning images through composition of light, shape, and design, creating images that infuse heartfelt elegance within the spontaneity of each moment. Jasmine is a photo storyteller who would feel honored to compose the visual tale of your special day.
In 2008, Jasmine received an award of excellence for her work as a wedding photographer (Gold Award of wedding album competition by PPGBA Professional Photographer of the Greater Bay Area, www.ppgba.org).

Portrait Photography - In her portrait work, Jasmine Wang believes in the power of presenting one's face as an expression of character. She seeks the shots that highlight the individual’s unique personality and charisma while enhancing one’s God-given beauty.

Dance Photography - A former dance student herself, San Francisco photographer Jasmine Wang is fluent in the physical language dancers use to articulate states of emotions. Her educated sense of body lines and kinetic form merge with the dancer’s movements to create photos filled with grace and flowing motion.

Travel Photography - Jasmine Wang’s work in travel photography reflects her deep-seated respect for history and culture. She honors each opportunity to document the character and essence of the locations she visits. Like a humble guest invited to glimpse an inner world, she treats each subject with the reverence they deserve.

She was born and raised in China, but her work and sense of adventure has taken her to other parts of Asia, Europe, and the United States to capture photos as wells as experiences. She is bilingually fluent in English and Mandarin, multi-culturally aware, and multi-dimensionally educated in creative fields. Not just an expert with a camera, Jasmine is also formally trained in music, dance, and painting. Her diverse schooling, innate talent, and passion for the arts converge to inspire works of imaginative genius. With camera poised, Jasmine is a natural born hunter, not the kind who shoots to kill, but a seeker who captures excellence through the aim of her camera lens. Her ever-alert eyes scan her surroundings in high-speed, high-resolution detail. She has an almost supernatural ability to see and anticipate scenes at different speeds simultaneously: the sudden transition of a mood overlapping other moods in layered sequence; isolated frames suspended in time and space within shifts of movement and expression. Meanwhile, her multiplex mind mixes, matches, and sorts visual elements for photo composition. Jasmine’s artistic perspective honors the energy and essence of her subjects, offering a privileged gaze at a moment within other moments inside the motion of the universe.

Though currently based in San Francisco, Jasmine travels to locations worldwide upon clients' requests for destination photography assignments. Jasmine's photography studio is located in the beautiful Marina district in San Francisco, conveniently accessible for her local clients in San Francisco, Marin County, North Bay, the Peninsula, San Jose, South Bay, and East Bay. Her range of expertise includes wedding photography, portrait photography, fashion photography, fine art photography, commercial and corporate photography, dance photography, artistic nude photography, travel photography, and photojournalism. Before opening her photography studio in San Francisco, Jasmine has been commissioned for photography assignments in China, Southeast Asia, Thailand, Tibet, Laos, Paris, Chicago, Illinois, and Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jasmine is the photographer to call if you are seeking the highest quality wedding albums, family photographs, portraits, dance photography, fine art photography or photography for your special occasion.
