Kimberly M. Wang

“It is an incredibly rare find to encounter someone who marries both the “IT” factor and the “HEART” factor so graciously and effortlessly: Kimberly Wang not only accomplishes this incredible feat, but does so with more generosity than any other photographer I have encountered. The combination of a technical and artistic eye is fundamental in photography, but while possessing these in spades, Kimberly also brings to the mix the magic of spontaneity, exceptional in-depth research, and a genuine desire for her subjects to shine above all else. She will capture the very best of you.”

Shared after her retirement as a renowned Soloist for the New York City Ballet, a company that had been her home for 20 years. “It’s the last day of an incredible month celebrating AAPI family and embracing HUGE change of my own. Humbled to stare all that entails in the face while moving steadily Onward into possibility. Kimberly captured a lot of what can’t be put into words. While I don’t have answers—none of us do—I’m finding deeper trust in the Woman you see here.”

“It seems as if we have always known Kimberly. When she came to visit us in Maine she was on assignment to photograph me working with the dogs but quickly figured out that for us, everyday life and work are all one and the same, and she was really able to capture the whole picture. Kimberly has also been on set during shoots in New York. There are few people who can do this without distracting the dogs but with her gentle manner and deep understanding of dogs (and humans!) she has been a joy to work with and has taken some of the best pictures yet of what it is like when the dogs and I are at work.”

“Kimberly is not only a photographer… Using her gift for understanding and seeing all, Kimberly is someone who uplifts the human spirit and translates that in a clear, truthful, and beautiful way. I always trust her to photograph my “good” side, meaning, to kimberly, all sides are good sides. i have never felt more confident, beautiful, and myself, than when kimberly wang is photographing me.”

“I’ve shot with Kimberly numerous times now, on both coasts of the US, and I can think of no one better to entrust with your needs. Not only have my shooting experiences with her been a joy, the after care of her meticulously narrowing down the images to a shortlist, and then having discussions as to what works and why, you are left with images that you will keep and admire forever.”

“I have loved working with Kimberly since day one! She’s understanding, full of creativity and a wonderful person with an approach I appreciate. Her photos are gorgeous and have brought us much joy. My husband and I got really emotional looking at them. I can’t wait to be photographed by her again.”

“A process of discovery…Kimberly captured views that I didn’t know how to show the world. Pre-shoot planning, mood boards, communication, wardrobe, hair and makeup, a team of assistants – my experience with Kim was lightyears beyond the typical photoshoot. She is a true director on-set — guiding you through the internal dialogue and physical movements that fuel each shot. She created an environment where I felt free to express and embrace every impulse. She is as professional as it gets – but holds a light-hearted, “no-pressure” approach. When I saw the final photos, I was amazed … Kim produced stunning images. The entire process and final product boosted my confidence – the heart of any creative pursuit ... Kim set up a beautiful foundation for my future.”

“I got my husband a couples portrait package with Kimberly for our anniversary, and – without exaggeration - the experience was magical from start to finish. The magic is all due to Kimberly herself. She is warm, curious, and caring, with the mind of a journalist and the eye of - well, a brilliant photographer! I really appreciated how much she took her time and made sure we were comfortable with every decision, from the wardrobe selection to the final photo choice. During the shoot, she asked questions and gave us prompts about our relationship that resulted in photos where you can see the love between us – we treasure them. I can’t recommend Kimberly highly enough. If you are considering a shoot with her, do it! You will have a unique and really fun experience and end up with exceptionally beautiful portraits.”

“Kimberly spent so much time with me before our shoot. Getting to know me, what I was hoping to achieve: image, vibe, etc. Once we were into the shoot, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease being in front of the camera! Her patience was endless. Her talent knows no bounds. She took so many beautiful shots, choosing the ones I most wanted was like Sophie’s Choice!”

“Having my photo taken by Kimberly was a new, thrilling and lucky experience! Like many people, I was not entirely comfortable in front of a camera. Kimberly’s empathy + incredible eye behind the lens created an atmosphere of ease and enjoyment. During the shoot I felt like a fashion model! Passers-by would call out kind things about how I looked and Kimberly would smile and agree and it made me feel great. Being shot by a world class photographer, against a city I love, in my own favorite clothes, looking my best thanks to masterful, professional hair/make-up done in my home, resulted in photographs that look like me – the best me. A good photograph should capture a person’s essence and reveal something of her story and thanks to Kimberly, I got both.”

“Kimberly made me feel totally safe and gorgeous and is a fantastically precise director. She knows exactly what angles work for photos and I felt like I could completely trust her guidance and her pro team. I also really appreciated Kimberly talking me through a little breakdown around not feeling “worthy” of the investment we were both making in my photos. The photos are gorgeous (as expected) and so Kimberly’s follow up session to choose the best ones together was especially helpful. I love my photos and am so glad I made the investment!”
