Photographer
Bangkok Thailand
A photographer born and raised in Dubai, UAE, now living and working in Bangkok, Thailand, we catch up with Kim Gammage to find out more about her work.
How would you describe your work?
Well my artistic work tends to be quite dark, but most of my other photography is spontaneous and fun, I enjoy capturing the moments that people aren't aware of, those priceless moments where you can really see what's going on. They say a picture is worth a thousand words but I only think that's true if it captures a moment in time that can never be repeated.
How long have you been taking photos?
I realized I loved taking photos at about five or six years old at a waterfall in Thailand, ever since then I've been building my experience and irritating the hell out of the people around me with all sorts of cameras.
So have you ever studied photography or are you self taught?
I am mostly self taught aside from a weekend course I took in Dubai that was an introduction to digital photography. I was the youngest one there, the only one without a DSLR and yet the one who already knew the most, I just didn't know what the actual names of all the buttons were.
Do you just take pictures of people or do you branch out?
My main focus tends to be people but I also have a love of botanical photography. I avoid landscapes, on occasion I shoot urban or street photos but it is mainly people.
What is your biggest photographic accomplishment?
That's a tough one. I have really big dreams so right now I don't feel like I've done much. I did always enjoy being known as "the girl with the camera" in Dubai at the local music gigs. Actually thinking about it probably being in the press pit at the Back to School Festival in Dubai a few years back was a pretty big deal, I always used to shoot the bands at the gigs in peoples back gardens but being in the press pit at a massive concert really was something else.
