BIO
Having a very experienced "eye for detail" along with a fierce sense of versatility, coupled with a playful wit and humanitarian spirit shining through, Kimberly is one of those select few female photographers that can accomplish any style or lighting desirable. In the 10th grade, she was taught by her photo teacher, Mr. Dickerson, to shoot with a Pentax that was a gift from her musician father and he required she learn to shoot the 8mm motion camera as well as the latest b&w printing techniques.
A California native, raised a block from the ocean in Pismo Beach and North Hollywood, at five years old, her parents split so her mother took two jobs which sparked her determination and dedicated artistic spirit. Both her Grandmother and Great Grandmother were painters and she often drew bold designs as a child. After being in front of the camera acting and modeling everywhere from LA to NYC to Paris, working with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder for her first video, she knows the creative process is a team effort and each individual artist will alter the works. Previously experiencing the feeling as the subject having traveled the world, exposed to different cultures and challenges, she returned to her ultimate creative passion behind the lens. With the explosion of digital, she was chosen to pre-test PHASE ONE H20/H25 large format backs on her Mamiya RZ 6x7 and the quality surpassed most 35mm digital cameras today. She and her crew provide optional video, editing, retouching, compositing, graphics and layout. Her quick thinking and ability to work well in a team under pressure is an asset to any production. She's been described as a workhorse, detail oriented and a quick witted thinker which makes shoots fun. Not to mention, boy can she make a mean Bloody Mary and Chicken Curry! Her work has appeared in every major magazine from Vogue to Wallpaper. Don’t be fooled by thinking inside the box, she can accomplish any type of challenge you throw at her with a smile even if you don't see it in her shown portfolio, She has shot everything in her huge repertoire of archives. One of her favorite shoots was shooting swimwear in Costa Careyes Mexico and Kauai. She LOVES to shoot both location and studio equally.
