Kimberly interviewed by Liana Lehua
I have always known that any activity can be fun depending on the people involved. So, how lucky am I that the next ANPW workshop in Yosemite will be a great activity AND we’ll have great people in the field together. Meet Kimberly Haugen, just one of four contest winners who will be enjoying the Yosemite winter with us.
Kimberly’s location: Scottsdale, Arizona

Your dream photography trip (location):
Anywhere in Africa.
What are you passionate about shooting? What do you shoot? (Example: portraits, sports, landscape, etc.).
I am passionate about shooting the peoples of Africa. When I’m not in Africa, I enjoy capturing portraits of friends and family.
What are you most looking forward to during the ANPW experience?
I am looking forward to learning everything I can from the pros. Since nature photography has never been a focus of mine, I am excited to learn how they visualize shots, the best lighting to shoot in and proper framing. I’m also looking forward to the Aperture training. My image processing is such a confusing mess, I’m looking forward to being able to streamline that process and save me a lot of time.
What do you do for a living? How do you make the time for your photography?
I am a video director/producer by trade so images are a part of my daily life. But I love the challenge of still photography. Video captures and uses 29.97 frames per seconds to tell a story. Still photography is more of a challenge to a story and convey your message in a single frame.
What is your favorite aspect of photography? (Example: being outdoors, the art and science of capturing the image in the camera, telling a story, etc.).
I enjoy capturing a fraction of a moment in time for generations to enjoy. I find myself like a little child on Christmas morning when it comes to actually being able to see the images I captured. I enjoy the creative aspect of photography and how several photographers can shoot the same subject and capture completely different images.
Are you planning on buying any new gear specifically for the workshop between now and the workshop?
No, I’m not planning on purchasing any equipment. However, I have rented two lenses. Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II and Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS.
What inspires you?
The entire continent of Africa inspires me. I consider my time shooting here in America preparation for when I shoot in Africa.
What is your image processing workflow?
I have no image workflow. That is one of the things I am looking forward to learning with the Aperture application training.
