Hi! My name is Cornelius Hayes and I’m a photographer with a desire to develop videography/cinematography skills. I am currently in college at The University of Alabama at Birmingham studying Digital Marketing. I have been doing photography for about two years, and I am now transitioning to being able to pursue my hobby as a full-time job.

I’m glad we could get the awkward introduction out of the way! If you take a look at the photo, you realize that I am a lot like you. 9/10 I feel super uncomfortable in front of the camera not knowing exactly what’s going to be photographed and what I look like in front of the camera. I have been lucky to have some amazing artists help me during photoshoots to make that process as painless as possible.

That being said, I have learned a lot from photographers in my journey and I’d love for you to be a part of this journey moving forward. I have done all sorts of photoshoots for various events sharpening this skillset, but I have really enjoyed the time spent with people transitioning chapters in their life. Whether it be THE big day for the bride and groom, a surreal moment for a graduate, or the celebration of another trip around the sun I would love to be a small part of the celebration.
