Simpson Kim

I am an internationally recognized photographer and visual artist, currently based in New York, specializing in fashion, portrait, and editorial photography. With a career spanning over a decade, I have collaborated with leading global brands such as Louis Vuitton, Nikon Imaging Korea, and LG Energy Solution. My work has been featured in renowned publications like WWD, Vogue, GQ British, and The Hollywood Reporter.

Passionate about capturing stories through my lens, I aim to convey individuality and artistic identity in every project. From working with notable figures like Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-yeon to leading global campaigns, my journey reflects dedication to creative excellence.

I’m also a current member of APA (American Photographic Artists), continuing to grow through a strong community of image-makers in the U.S.
