Yasmin's mother took this photo over two decades
ago. So when Yasmin had her own daughter she decided to recreate the photo. The
resemblance is striking! See the post by the photographer Udimee, after the cut...
"Pictures are powerful. They freeze time,
preserve memories and document history in ways that still intrigue me. *
Over two decades ago, Yasmin’s mom had this photo
taken (the one on the left) and recently, after Yasmin welcomed a baby girl,
she decided that she wanted to recreate that same photo. The curious thing
though, is how close the resemblance is between the three people in the photo.
Yasmin looks just like her mum in the older picture and her daughter looks
exactly like the younger Yasmin. *
Interestingly, I have not seen Yasmin in one year.
However, the last time we met for a photoshoot at her house, I made a photo of
her with a little girl, a relative of hers who kept trying to get into our
pictures. So we included her in one with Yasmin and recently, when I was
looking for a picture for my story, A Northern Dream, I stumbled on that
picture and shared it on Instagram. Someone told Yasmin about it and that is
how we got reunited for this exciting project. She had been looking for a
photographer for this for a while. Can you believe that? *
It is in moments like this that I often place a lot
of value on the job that I do. Photographers have helped preserve powerful
memories for posterity and that is a truly noble thing, I think. Who knows,
someday, Little Armani might want to make the same image and I might just be
fortunate to be the guy who makes that image as well. Here is to Photographers
and Powerful Memories!"
