Who I am

A few words about me

I'm Emilio Hernández. I've been looking at the world through a camera for over twenty years, yet I still feel the same spark I did on day one—when I catch a gaze that says everything, or when the light gently brushes across a face just right.

I've walked many paths in photography—weddings, christenings, product shoots, communions—and each one has taught me something. But it was in portraiture that I found home. Where everything made sense. Today, it’s the only thing I do. The only thing I need to do.

People are my raw material, my constant inspiration. I’m fascinated by the beauty that shows up when someone allows themselves to simply be. That’s my work: to stay close, to observe, and to capture the invisible. I’m not after perfect poses, but rather what happens when the mask comes off.

I draw inspiration from classical painting, from the chiaroscuro of the Renaissance—the kind of light that sculpts, that hints, that reveals. That deep, intimate, honest light.

I work from Rivas Vaciamadrid, but to me, photography knows no fixed place. Wherever there's a true story to tell, that’s where I’ll be.

If there’s something in you that deserves to be captured—something you want to hold onto, to share, or simply to remember—I’d love to help you turn it into an image.

Photography set

I work like the photographers of yesteryear, calmly, with soul. Like a painter who observes before giving the first brushstroke, I don't conceive photography as a simple product to be bought and sold. For me, each image is a piece of history, an emotion trapped in time.

That's why you won't find me in a shop, on the street, with lights and posters. Instead, I have a small studio, intimate and cosy, where we can create together. But the real magic happens outside those walls, in another big studio. I am lucky enough to have the most beautiful and authentic setting imaginable: the world around you. That corner of your house where you feel at peace, a street that brings back memories, a bench in the park where you laugh, the garden you take care of with care, or a hidden corner in the middle of nature. My studio is every place where there is a story to tell, an emotion to capture, an image that deserves to be kept.

Personal contact

I offer you a personal and dedicated service, because to me, you are the most important part of my work. You are the heart of what I do—the inspiration behind every image—and my goal is to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Whatever you need, I’m here for you as your photographer. Tell me what you're looking for, what you dream of capturing, and together we'll create a custom plan—no strings attached.

I'm just a message away. Feel free to reach out anytime.
You can contact me by phone or email—I'd love to hear from you.
