The photographer

Images with flair.

I'm Eric Hernandez, the photographer behind Elan Image. I make stylized portraits and fashion images — saturated color, sculpted light, and direction that pulls something real out of the person in front of the lens. If you want safe and forgettable, I'm not your guy. If you want images with flair, let's talk.

Signature work

Not your typical portrait

Stylized, directed, and built around the person — whatever the occasion was, the treatment is the signature.

Work with me

Three ways in

Every session is shot, edited, and delivered by me — concept to final image, one pair of hands.

About

The work I was made for.

Art has been running my life since I was a kid with a pencil. Drawing led me to New York's High School of Art and Design, then to computer graphics, then to courses at Parsons — and then, like a lot of artists, I took the long way around: other businesses, other people's sets, years of assisting and styling for photographers and designers whose names went on the work.

Then digital photography arrived, and I was hooked for good.

Here's what I actually do: I create something from nothing. I build a scene, shape the light, direct the person in front of me until what I see in my head is standing in front of the camera — and then I get my favorite moment in the world, when someone looks at their portrait and says, "Wow. That doesn't even look like me." It does. It's the version of you that was always in there.

I believe every person carries a God-given image worth revealing. My job is to reveal it — with bold color, dramatic light, and direction that makes people comfortable enough to let it out. The same eye comes home with me to fine art: images made to hang on walls and be loved, mine and the artists I champion.

This is Elan Image. It's my second act, and it's the work I was made for.
