Currently based in Asia, Kimberley Coole is available for assignment or commission both locally and internationally, specialising in travel photography and creative portraiture. Her work is represented by two of the world’s leading travel photography agencies, Lonely Planet Images and Robert Harding World Imagery, and through them her photographs have been reproduced in various newspapers, magazines and guidebooks.

“Two of my great passions in life are travel and photography. It is an amazing experience to observe and photograph such varied cultures and I see it as a great privilege that I am able to share the beauty and diversity of the world I've seen with others. The images taken by other photographers have inspired me throughout my many adventures, so now I hope my own contributions will inspire others to go out and see the world for themselves.

My philosophy is to take positive photographs highlighting the best a place has to offer, whether that is the vibrancy of the landscapes or traditional costumes, the warmth and friendliness of the people or the architectural grandeur of its ancient monuments.”

Kimberley’s work was also featured on the cover of a book named “It’s a beautiful world...” which was the product of Sophie Addison’s concern for community and humanity. It combines Sophie’s interest in tourism and geography with her new found passion for the MS cause; all proceeds of the book were donated to charity.

In 2009 Kimberley was selected as one of the finalists in the Renaissance Photography Prize and received a Commendation by the judges - Martin Parr, Charlie Waite and Brigitte Lardinois. Renaissance is an international photography competition where all funds raised goes to support breast cancer, and which culminates in a one week exhibition and celebrity private view at a prestigious gallery in London.
