meet kim
hi, i'm kim.
i am a vietnamese american commercial + editorial photographer based in los angeles, california who specializes in portraiture of people under the comedy umbrella.
when i moved to los angeles as an east coaster in 2014, i learned that comedians are my favorite type of person to photograph. since then, my body of work has expanded to directors, authors, actors, screen / feature writers, and quite frankly, a very random assortment of miscellaneous artists that are just as opinionated as they are hilarious.
i'm fortunate enough to have worked with elle magazine, comedy central, netflix, hulu, showtime, and other publications + television networks since. i even had a book published!
when I am not taking photographs or hunched over a computer-- i can always be found:
• at comedy shows (both backstage and in the crowd)
• in the dojo practicing aikido + precariously slicing the air with my katana
• rollerskating at skateparks
• slowly typing things into the google search bar
