Kim Long Photography: Experience

Weddings

An international award-winning member of the distinguished Wedding Photojournalist Association and its Artistc Guild, I specialize in documentary coverage. My style is a mélange of classic and contemporary reportage, fashion and fine art, marked by a percipience for the minutiae, moments and relationships that are such integral elements of the occasion.

I regard each wedding as a special chapter in a personal love story, and my endeavor is always to create visual memoirs that not only reflect the spirit of the day, but also pay tribute to the essence of the couple.

Lifestyle

Lifestyle Photography is a different kind of portrait experience. I work primarily by natural light and strongly encourage on-location sessions, preferably in clients' homes or other significant and interesting sites, as this lends itself to particularly personal, intimate and emotionally accessible images.

For more minimalistic conceptual work, I have limited access to a natural light studio space in downtown Cincinnati which provides unique interior and exterior architecture and proximity to a variety of interesting urban settings around town. My use of this space is on an as-needed basis, and the scheduling of a studio shoot is always contingent upon space availability. Studio sessions are not offered for babies or children under 5, nor are they recommended for family or child photography unless the client desires something decidedly conceptual.

I do not necessarily follow conventions of mainstream studio portrait photography with regard to posing, props and backdrops. Before inquiring, I strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with my work. If you're looking for a more traditional style of studio portraiture, there are many chains and other area photographers who specialize in that.

Fine Art

Limited edition fine art prints will be available for purchase online in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, feel free to browse the gallery for examples of such work. If you are interested in licensing anything you see for commercial or editorial use, please contact me to discuss.
