About Richard Koci Hernandez
Richard Koci Hernandez is on the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism faculty and a national Emmy award winning video and multimedia producer. His photographic work has appeared in The New York Times, Wired, The New Yorker, Time, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and a National Geographic Book on iPhone Photography, among others.

Hernandez has been practicing street photography for decades, favoring low-tech media such as pin-hole cameras, Holgas, and more recently, the iPhone, to create mysterious images of urban landscapes and people on the move. His black and white work has a distinctly film-noir flavor, evoking modernist photography of the ’30s which balances formal compositions with gritty textures and human narratives. People are often captured in profile, appearing as a silhouette or the simple shape of a hat, umbrella, or heels set in the anonymous cities, corridors, train stations, and airports of our global world.
