About Kim Barriga
Fresh off the boat from the Pearl of the Orient Seas since 2025. Born in the year of the dinosaurs, artist since birth and Founder of Keyeicon ❤. I have 3 years of experience doing volume photography and eager to engage on a different side of the lens: Wedding, Events & Real Estate Photography.
~ 2026
Since I’m a new to the wedding world, I’m only accepting bookings as a second shooter (for now). I’m here to support the lead and soak up every bit of experience from the talented pros in this city.
~ 2028
In a year or two? The goal is to lead my own shoots and even mentor a second shooter of my own.
~ To infinity and beyond
I plan on doing this for as long as I can—or at least until my nerve problems finally wins the battle! Haha. But realistically, I know I won’t be behind the camera forever. One day this hustle will grow bigger than me and it will be a business I will eventually hand over. Until then, I’m just a soloist (for now) with a slightly twitchy nerve and a huge drive to capture your best life.

Available lenses
While this is my personal arsenal, I know every venue and lighting situation is different. If the lead photographer or client needs a specific lenses I don’t currently own, I am always happy to rent the necessary gear to match the requirement.
Telephoto Zoom | Sony
For portraits, events, sports and wildlife photography needs. This is my absolute favorite lens, mostly because it lets me be a total ninja. I can stay way back in the shadows and capture those raw moments before you even realize I’m there. But good lord this lens is heavy af.
Standard Zoom | Sigma
At an event, there is a 90% chance this lens is glued to a photographer's camera. It’s the ultimate multitasker—wide enough at 28mm to capture the whole room, and has enough zoom for those "I didn't know you were taking this" "oh yes, I did gurl" candid portraits.
Wide-angle Zoom | Sigma
Mainly used for landscape and real estate photography. If the other two lenses is for "who you are", this lens is for "where you are". This lens will be used as a second priority to caputre the vibe of the crowd, scale of the show, and beutiful architecture.
