Anthony Hernandez (born 1947) is an American photographer who divides his time between Los Angeles, his birthplace, and Idaho. His photography has ranged from street photography to images of the built environment and other remains of civilization, particularly those discarded or abandoned elements that serve as evidence of human presence.[1][2][3][4][5] He has spent most of his career photographing in Los Angeles and environs.[6][7] "It is L.A.'s combination of beauty and brutality that has always intrigued Hernandez."[7] La Biennale di Venezia said of Hernandez, "For the past three decades a prevalent question has troubled the photographer: how to picture the contemporary ruins of the city and the harsh impact of urban life on its less advantaged citizens?"[8] His wife is the novelist Judith Freeman.[4]
