KIMBERLY HOLCOMBE PHOTOGRAPHY

I love the ocean and can’t bear to not live next to it.
I would own 50 rescue dogs if I could, but our 17 y/o border collie would be jealous.
I admire photojournalists and nurses beyond measure.
Sailing is a life long love and I cherish every minute I’m on a boat.
Traveling has always been my biggest addiction, with camera in hand.
I am forever grateful to my Milan neighbor, Signora Bergamaschi, who taught me all her pasta recipes.
Evenings on the beach with my main man of 24 years (a sailor!) and our dog is another favorite, with a g+t of course.

Like a lot of photographers, I fell hard for it from a darkroom class in high school.
I moved to Milan at 30 and loved every single day, every job, every Italian I met, and every meal.
My defection from Milan (due to the new EU laws) landed me in Boston where I met the best digital geeks who taught me everything.
I fell hard again for the new technology of digital capture.
I moved to NYC the beginning of 2000 and was shocked to find myself the only one who gave up film for digital.
I took advantage of that, and with the help of my agent, convinced Sephora to shoot global campaigns digitally.
A decade plus in NYC was as it should be – creative, fulfilling and crazy!
Since I moved to Jamestown, RI to live with the aforementioned sailor and dog, I happily travel to where the shoot takes me.
I value all the assistants and digital techs I have worked with, and remain friendly with most of them.
My island has some incredible locations to shoot at, by the way
