Hiding from Len's


There’s not much to say about Yasmine Lambert.

She’s an artist.

A friend.

A sister.

And perhaps a bit of a high functioning sociopath.

Either way, I like to remain hidden in pictures, away from prying eyes and judgmental taste.

The spotlights not good for me.

I don’t believe in Filters.

I believe in inner beauty.

A creative mind,

A gentle soul,

But also someone who doesn’t give a fuck.

An awesome friend,

A truthful, harsh mom/dad.

Someone who truly understands.

But is silent and quiet in the crowd.

In the camera, I am a squeamish, awkward girl who doesn’t like the lens on me.

But off camera, I can be so much more.
