About

Jasmine Murray is a Bedford-based narrative photographer, specialising in Social Commentary. She has carved a niche in using a conceptual approach to produce interpretation through uncanny, posable dolls which comments on the phenomena of the curated self.

She gained an HND in Photography with distinction in 2015.  During her HND studies, Jasmine refined her visual and conceptual vocabulary by working outside her usual zone of comfort, producing strong images with fashion, product and fine art photography themes.  Since her HND Jasmine has been exploring a personal interest in sights and visions of the world around her, exploring hows she sees the world without vision correcting spectacles in a series called “Through My Eyes”, miniature worlds with tiny toy figurines, as well as manipulating light, refraction, reflections and distortions.

In 2019 she topped up her HND to a BA in Photography graduating with a First Class Honours, honing her specialism of Social Commentary, which notes and records how aesthetic values change over time. It questions, critiques, comments, and recycles, but also projects and visualises, depicting a curated narrative. She completed an MA in Photography at Falmouth in 2021.

Her work was featured at AnimagiC 2013 the German annual anime convention, by Plasticpop the European official brand distributor for Groove Inc., the Korean manufacturer of the Pullip range of collectible fashion dolls. Her work has also been used by Groove Inc. themselves for the cover photo of the international Pullip Official Facebook page.
