Capturing the Beauty in Life
Over the last year, Pear Collections has had the privilege of working with some incredible women through collaborations.
As many of you know, our core mission at Pear is to help women love their curves while feeling comfortable in their clothing, and it is also our mission, as a female-run business, to support fellow women in business. We love working with fellow women striving to achieve their dreams; after all, that’s what the owner and lead designer, Angie Martin, did when creating Pear Collections.
In one of our largest collaborations this year, the team had the pleasure of working with Jasmin Tyquin-Lutherborrow, owner and head photographer of Jasmin May Photography.
Who is Jasmin?
To give you a bit of background, Jasmin is a talented young Brisbane-based photographer who created Jasmin May Photography as she naturally sees the world through a creative lens. Jasmin’s creativity comes from a passion for helping others capture candid moments and gain the confidence to love themselves and be comfortable with who they are.
She loves working on meaningful projects, so when the opportunity to work with Pear Collections arose, she couldn’t help but get involved.
Why the Passion for Capturing a Moment?
Like many of us female entrepreneurs, Jasmin built her business out of a sheer passion for working with truly remarkable individuals to capture valued moments for a lifetime.
Jasmin’s photography style could be described as modern and vibrant, as she loves to capture candid moments that showcase who you are on the inside and celebrate it with the whole world.
As Gerardo Suter said, ‘I didn’t choose photography. Photography chose me, and for Jasmin, this is 100% true.
Life as an Entrepreneur, Daughter, Sister, and Psychology Student
Although photography is Jasmin’s first passion, her second is helping people.
For a photographer like Jasmin, combining these two passions comes naturally by focusing on helping every client of Jasmin May Photography improve their self-love and Confidence in each shoot she runs.
In the world of psychology, professionals dedicate their lives to understanding how we think, feel, behave, and learn. Because of this, every time Jasmin steps into the world of photography, she can bring a little extra to each project, helping her subjects understand themselves better and teaching them to value themselves at a higher level.
After watching this process happen right before my eyes, I was amazed by how she took our most self-conscious model and made her the star of our shoot, bringing her inner beauty to life.
Collaboration and Joining Our Community
After growing up being bullied both in Primary and Secondary School, Jasmin has struggled with her self-love and confidence. As she has matured over the years, she has begun to work on her love by learning to become her friend and valuing herself over what others say about her. This self-work has ultimately enabled her to step into the world of psychology and become an inspiring photographer for her clients.
It was this internal work that Jasmin has done over the years that drew her to work with Pear Collections on our largest collaboration yet. Jasmin, love the concept that Pear Collections promotes: empowering women to love themselves inside and out. Understanding the struggles many of us go through, she was called to support our Pear Community in beginning their journeys toward loving themselves.
The Project
This long-awaited collaboration featured three fellow female entrepreneurs and three beautiful pear-shaped models. Originally planned for March 2020 (the week of the COVID-19 lockdowns), this project was rescheduled only when it was safe for the team to get together and make magic happen.
For this project, Jasmin and our team focused on showcasing real women wearing the Pear Collection range. This meant that Jasmin had to coach inexperienced models and build their self-confidence, inspiring fellow pear-shaped women around the world to love their curves.
One for meeting a challenge, Jasmin successfully inspired our models to feel comfortable in a room full of strangers and successfully brought out each model’s personality and inner beauty. Coming off a year in isolation for many of us due to the coronavirus, this project was created to help remind women to love their curves and who they are during a time that many of us lost hope in so many aspects of our lives.
Jasmin took on this task and created a collection of images that not only showcased the Pear Capsule Range but also captured the company's overall feeling and a sense of self-love effortlessly.
