ABOUT JAIME

Jaime Fernandez

A native of Panama, Jaime comes from a long family line of photographers. Jaime's interest in photography began relatively early, as he was his high school's yearbook photographer and editor.

Jaime studied photography at the Georgia Art Institute. After graduation, he returned to Panama, where he operated and managed his family's photography studio and postcard business.

Later, he worked as a freelance photographer for a variety of international news agencies, covering political and military events in Central America. At the same time, he taught photography at a private Catholic university in Central America.

In 1988, Jaime joined the Associated Press. He worked there for four years, covering important political news events in Central America, and photographing persons known worldwide, such as Desmond Tutu and President Bush. In 1992, Jaime joined the staff of photographers of the Panama Canal, working as a photographer and as editor to the 80th Anniversary Book of the Panama Canal.

In 1995, Jaime began working as a freelance fashion, modeling and commercial photographer, opening a studio in downtown Panama and working with Physical, a modeling agency affiliated with Elite. His work during this time included photographing Miss Panama for the Miss Universe Pageant.

In 1999, Jaime moved to Austin with his wife and two children and continued his photography of weddings, models and fashion.

ABOUT CHRIS

Chris Hays

Chris is a native Texan. Born in Austin, he was raised in the countryside halfway between Dripping Springs and Oak Hill. He attended Abilene Christian University after graduating from Dripping Springs High School in 1997. The opportunity arose to travel abroad to Oxford, England and there he discovered his love for taking pictures. Being a Print Journalism major at the time, he had no idea his little Canon A-1 camera with it's one 50mm lens would bring the world of photography into focus. After returning to campus, Chris' pictures were used for advertising to promote the "Study Abroad" experience.

Back at ACU, he delved into the photography world by getting a job on the school newspaper and yearbook. After completing his degree in Photojournalism he moved back to Austin where he interned with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Chris photographed TPWD photographer Earl Nottigham and his work was featured in the magazine and promotional brochures. Working with photographer Lorene Moore he photographed the bats at Devils Hole in west Texas. He also covered the Iwo Jima reenactment in Fredricksburg TX. You may find some of his photos featured in the Admiral Nimitz museum.

After that, Chris became a photo lab technician, and then a photo lab manager for several years helping and teaching customers how to use their cameras for better use. Chris fell even deeper in love with photography after acquiring his first professional digital camera. He began to shoot more weddings and portraits shortly after, and then acquired a job for several years doing studio portraits taking pictures ranging from Children, to Firemen, to Clergy.

Chris approaches photography as nature embraces spring. You will find the colors vibrant, and full of life. The only difference is the art captured by Chris lasts not a season, but a lifetime.
