About KMR

Kevin Michael Reed is an award-winning fashion, beauty, advertising and catalog photographer based in New York City and Miami.

Kevin grew up in the entertainment industry and has always had a creative mind for the visual arts: from acting to dancing, lighting design to directing. From the age of two, he was performing on the stage and won many national awards for his dance and vocal performance skills. His credits in musical theatre both on the stage and off could fill up three pages on a resume. A car accident forced him to leave the on-stage aspects of the performing arts. Having grown up with a camera in his hand documenting his travels and experiences in the performing arts, photography now took a front seat in Kevin’s life.

Directly out of high school, he was offered a position with McMillen Advertising Corporation (MAC). He immediately moved up the corporate ladder from Lead Generator to Account Executive within his first year of employment. Upon leaving MAC, he worked as a National Media Specialist at VentureDirect Worldwide, a New York City based direct marketing firm. Kevin believes that his advertising background helps him create images that appeal to the target and sell products and lifestyles for his clients. In 1999, Kevin left the corporate world to pursue his love of photography full-time.

Before opening a photography studio in Orlando’s Art District, Kevin graduated from Mid-Florida Technical Institute’s Commercial Photography Program. He has also studied fashion and commercial photography at New York City’s Fashion Insitute of Technology (FIT, a SUNY college) where he has earned an A.A.S. in Photography. He currently splits his time between New York City, Miami and worldwide travel for photo assignments.

He is a member of American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), Professional Photographers of America (PPA), Advertising Photographers of America (APA), National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), among other professional organizations.

Most recently, Kevin’s clients have included “The Cool Book”, Supermodels Unlimited Magazine, Sinar Bron Imaging, AURA Fashions by Hila Ohana, WRecords Fashions, Gambino Apparel Group, Henri’s Cloud Nine, Innotech Systems, Mimz NYC and McMillen Advertising Corporation. He has also just completed filming of a reality television show in which he co-produced and directed. In 2009, Kevin received two Gold Awards from Graphis for their 2009 Photography Annual, his image also appears on the cover.
