02 / THE STUDIO
A New Dimension to Celebrity Portraiture
"Every color choice I make, whether it's in the background, wardrobe, or light, is deliberate, never incidental."
Based in Santa Monica, Hernan Rodriguez is the recipient of over 30 international photography awards, including the Black & White Spider Award for photographic excellence in fashion photography. Before opening his studio, Hernan worked as an art director and graphic designer, bringing layout discipline to every portrait session.
We have worked with almost every major talent agency in Hollywood, including United Artists, William Morris, Ford Models, 3-Arts Entertainment, and Amsel, Eisenstadt, Frazier & Hinojosa Inc.
