Profile
Bridget Yassme is an American-Ghanaian, fashion and fine art photographer. Her images sit with contradiction, examining the space between our objective reality and our internal narrative; who we are and who we want and, or need to be.
Bridget learned how to capture that by first capturing it in herself. She has long straddled such uncertainties, and has found reprieve immortalizing that common humanity in others — reflecting Black people in the light of their complexity, sophistication, intricacies and negotiations. She draws from her experiences in Ghana and in the South Bronx, in love and in pain as well as her relationship to fashion, religion, heritage, culture, and portraiture to inform her work.
