The Art of Photography Through the Eyes of Jaime Lim

BY DAVID TUPAZ, PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAIME LIM

Jaime Lim is a world-renown Fashion Photographer sought by many high-profile fashion publications. His studio, Liquid Star Photography, introduces us to an ethereal world of fantasy and magic when Jaime picks up his camera and begins to capture what only his eye can see and duplicate. He is a highly accomplished artist who has figured out how to create a piece of art with a simple click of his camera.

Like any great artist, Jaime painstakingly captures a moment in time that is unique to him. His mission is to create a love affair with the subject and their surroundings so that the audience connects to the image and falls in love with what he is trying to convey. To say that Jaime’s photography can take your breath away is putting it mildly. His stunning imagery and his fascination with his models are in his signature works of art.

Jaime is always stretching the boundaries of creative photography, and he is striving for that perfect shot in every assignment. Chic Compass is honored to have Jaime as part of our magazine, and we posed a few questions for him to answer while we had him in our presence.

Chic Compass: What inspires you in photography?

Jaime Lim: “My inspiration comes from various areas of life’s experiences and struggles. The creative world of art is what has challenged me the most to develop my skill as a photographer and as an artist.”

CC: When did you know that the Art of Photography was the direction you wanted to pursue?

JL: “Creativity and artistic ideology have always been with me since childhood. Identifying photography and the ability to see the language of composite development came naturally to me and is truly a gift that I am very thankful for.”

CC: Who are the role models in photography that you admire?

JL: “My role models in this field have never been a single person or an individual. I believe it is the industry itself that has intrigued me the most from combinations of cinematic film, creative plays, and technological inventions. I couldn’t name one person in my field and identify him or her as an influence; however, if I must choose someone, it would be George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars & Lucas Films.”

CC: What are some of the difficulties you encounter in your career?

JL: “In my career as a photographer, I have experienced difficulties when I first hold my camera and expedite the right shot along with post-production while expecting a greater absolute result of what I wanted to capture behind the lens.”

CC: What advice can you give those who want to pursue photography?

JL: “The only advice I can give anyone who wants to be a photographer or a cinematic photographer is to keep shooting for the stars and continue to climb every mountain because each step you take is a lesson forward into greatness.”

CC: What are your plans or the ultimate project you want to achieve?

JL: “I plan to open a Gallery / Photography Studio and to continue my passion as an artist and as a creative cinematic photographer. I consider myself a renaissance artist of modern times with a continued passion for preserving and restoring classical art.”
