Hello, my name is Jim Hammer. I am a seasoned photographer, a graduate of Nashville state tech in photography, previously working for several professional studios in the Nashville area and a member of Professional Photographers of America (an amalgamation of 'Who's Who" in the photography field). I have thoroughly enjoyed my craft; over the years, my work has been exhibited in several local museums and galleries. Although I dabble in nature photography as well as in profile pictures of civic events, I am mainly interested in portrait and wedding photography (providing free consultations). On the side, I teach budding photographers at local libraries, seminars, and clubs. I believe that it's important to "pay it forward," and I believe in capturing the essence of that one moment in time---for an eternity. Call me; let's talk!
