Teachers College, Columbia University's Staff Recognition Ceremony 2022 / February 10, 2023 by Christian Hernandez

I was asked to return to TC to photograph a ceremony in June that was halted by COVID-19 for two years - their Staff Recognition Ceremony. It was a 2-day celebration of faculty and staff who have been at the college for anywhere from 10 to 55+ years. I photographed this event on my own and was glad to be called in for this project. I had a great time covering the event. Here is some of what I captured.

My Year in Photography - 2018 / January 1, 2019 by Christian Hernandez

I never set goals. Believe me - at the beginning of the year, nor at any other point in the year do I set goals. But since I now had time to think about what I wanted the rest of my year to look like, I set some goals for my business back in May. Since then, I’m surprised at how many of those I’ve been fortunate to have achieved. By God’s grace and provision, and with the support of my family and friends, I have thankfully been able to check several of those off my list. Here are 4 that I’m really proud of.

That's the time when I began learning the ins and outs of my camera and how to photograph. Between then and now, I've learned a lot.
