Kim SignoretPaar
USA Honorable Mention Children of the World Amateur "Young monk" Living in a Buddhist monastery in Siem Reap, Cambodia Kim creates images of people and places that hold both the immediacy of a fleeting moment and the quiet pull of something deeper. Her photographs invite viewers to pause — to look beyond the surface, to imagine what lies just out of frame, and to feel the texture of the scene. Winning her first competition at age thirteen, Kim dreamed of being a National Geographic photographer. Since 2009, she has immersed herself in photography, earning multiple awards, exhibiting widely, and teaching cellphone photography. In 2014 and 2023, she won Best of Show at the International Exhibition of Photography at the San Diego County Fair. Then in 2024 and again this year her photos were selected for the APA-NY juried exhibitions at the Soho Photo Gallery in New York City and the APA-SD "Untitled" exhibitions. Kim earned a degree in journalism from the University of Iowa and built a career in California and Mexico in public relations, publishing, and fundraising. Through photography, travel, and teaching, Kim continues to explore and share human stories that connect us across cultures and generations. |
