Rob Ramundo
Kim is fantastic to work with, she is efficient, has a great attitude, and it is a pleasure to work. When things on a photo job seem out of control, she focuses and gets the job done. If you have the chance-work with her!!!
Bob Ishee
We hired Kim to shoot several of our Outdoor Decor product lines. What I appreciated most about Kim was her ability to adapt to difficult conditions that you often face with outdoor shoots. Kim is very flexible, a good communicator, and keeps things moving to stay in budget. She also has an eye for artistic, cutaway shots that were perfect for bringing extra energy or emotion to the project work. When you hire Kim, she can build the photography plan and deliver quality results.

Celebrity & High Fashion Studio Producer

Oct 2008 - Jun 2009
Double Exposure Studios shoots and styles celebrities for albums, luxury brands, personal business ventures, as well as high fashion models for editorial, print, video and more. While working with photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani, along with their very well known stylist, GK Reid, I was exposed to an intense and much sought after industry of celebrities and high fashion. Working alongside of GK as his lead stylist and accessories producer during Fashion Week for Richie Rich(2009), I secured all the accessories and footwear for the fashion show, even outfitting celebs such as Pam Anderson, Cat De Luna, Tinsley Mortimer, and Aubrey O' Day. I learned all of the ins and outs of runway styling and accessory selection and production. I worked along side of Indrani, as she created digital art in post production of celebrities such as Iman, David Bowie, Alicia Keys and Naomi Campbell to name a few. On set, I worked closely with Markus, the lead photographer, studying his style, man-made camera, and creative decisions. Those photos landed on the cover of many albums, high fashion magazines and coveted industry magazines, such as Photo District News (PDN). Show less
