Member of the Month: Matthew Bailly | Feb. 2009
I met Matthew in Albany around March-April of 2008. We were at a big New York photographer get together and we immediately hit it off… Matt and his wife were real likable and we talked about everything. We kept in touch ever since then and I am lucky enough to be considered his friend. His dedication to the forum has made Matthew the first ever inLIGHTin Member of the Month!

One on One with Kenny Kim
I first met Kenny when attending Mike Colón and Bob Davis’ Master Your Craft seminar down in New York City. He was very personable and ridiculously nice. On top of that, he had these amazing shirts for sale that I had to get ;P
After that, I seen Kenny everywhere I looked, every photo blog, every magazine I seen somehow up had Kenny in it! Absolutely amazing.
In a few short years, Kenny has made his way through the ranks and gotten his name out there in the industry like I have never seen before! His drive and determination has made him one of my biggest inspirations to date.
Kenny took some time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions for us.

| > What first sparked your interest in photography? KK: Shooting for collegiate sports helped me learn the techniques. I’ve been fascinated with people since I was little. I have shoe boxes full of bad photos. What made you decide to pursue a career in photography? How would you best describe yourself and your photographic style? What do you feel separates yourself from other photographers in your same profession? What other photographer or photographers have been a big inspiration to you? What else motivates and inspires you? What does a typical day of yours involve? How often do you travel for assignments? Do you have anyone else working for you? Do you outsource your work? If so then what do you primarily outsource? What was the coolest assignment/location that you have ever shot and why? What is your absolute favorite photo that you have ever taken and why?  KK: I hate those “favorite questions” but this one I took back in 2006 still brings a smile to my face. I was with the groomsmen taking some shots of them getting ready. The ring bearer was one of the groomsmen’s sons. He needed some help with tying his shoes. His father saw he was having hard time, laughed and bent down to tie the laces for him. I love the relationship between them and the ring bearer’s boxers. It was a genuine moment that I was fortunate to capture. What advice can you offer other pros out there to take their business to the next level? When did you start doing conferences, workshops and/or speaking engagements? Where can we see you speaking next? Where can we see some more of your work? What advice can you offer in regards to being published, appearing in advertisements and getting sponsorships? What camera equipment are you currently shooting with? What’s your lens of choice? What item can’t you leave the house without? What equipment can’t you wait for to come out and why? Are you sponsored by any companies? Do you have any plugs that you would like to make? |
