Landscape - Anthony Hernandez

Anthony Hernandez
By Morgan Ondrejka 

Anthony Hernandez is a landscape photographer in Los Angeles, California. His images really push the boundary of what you think of when you hear the words “landscape photographs”. He abstracts many of his landscapes, weather those be grass and dirt, poles and trees, city streets, or empty spaces. He truly works outside the assumed box of landscape.

                   

 

He also works in street photography, my personal preference of his work. These images capture the grit and reality of the not-so-fabulous areas of LA. An article written by Carolina A. Miranda of the Los Angeles Times puts Hernandez’s work perfectly by starting the article with:

“They are images in which Los Angeles can see itself, the side that doesn’t make it onto the picture postcards: Broken-down trucks in wide empty lots, the improvised architecture of freeway-side homeless encampments and municipal spaces that seem to offer their residents little more than disdain.”
