Anthony Hernandez was born in Los Angeles, California, and has drawn inspiration from the city for decades. Through photographs of urban landscapes, he explores economic inequality, homelessness, and urban construction.

In the series Landscapes for the Homeless, he made portraits of people experiencing homelessness. But rather than his subjects’ faces, the photographs feature objects from their shelters and makeshift encampments.

In his more abstract urban work, Hernandez aims to capture beauty in the everyday, often focusing on textures and patterns. The photographer encourages viewers to take a closer look at their surroundings. He highlights spaces such as bus stops, which might go unnoticed during daily commutes.
