About Paul Kimball

Paul Kimball is a photographer, filmmaker, and writer based in New York City. He has walked in the annual LGBTQ Pride March each year for four decades. Since 2005, he’s been systematically photographing what he — as a participant — sees from inside the line of march. Those pictures make up his ongoing Pride & Joy project.

Mr. Kimball served for 35 years in various communications functions at Verisk Analytics (originally called ISO). He wrote and edited many books, studies, annual reports, brochures, and other projects, and he managed a superb staff of communications professionals. He also wrote or directed numerous corporate videos, and he was in charge of the company’s websites. He retired in 2014 as director of marketing communications.

Before joining ISO, Mr. Kimball was head writer in the media department of the Urban Academy for Management, where he wrote and directed training videos for the City of New York. He also worked as a unit production manager on the children’s TV show Big Blue Marble.

Long involved in corporate film and video, Mr. Kimball served on the board of the New York chapter of the International Television Association (ITVA), later known as the Media Communications Association–International (MCA-I). He also founded and chaired the chapter’s Public ­Service Production Group (PSPG), which worked pro bono on television and radio public service announcements and other media projects for worthy nonprofit organizations in the New York area.

Mr. Kimball holds a master of fine arts degree from the New York University Graduate Institute of Film and Television (now the NYU Tisch School of the Arts) and a bachelor of arts degree in theater arts from Brandeis University.

Pride & Joy is Mr. Kimball’s first book of photographs.
