Heather Hernandez is a fine art photographer with over ten (10+) years of experience exploring the dynamic relationship between impermanence and nostalgia across a variety of subjects through the creation of static vignettes.
Trained in the exposure and development of 35mm color-negative photographic film using C-41 chemistry, and skilled in the use of digital processes to preserve, restore, and enhance the visual narratives of analog media.
Processing & Editing: retouching (dodge-and-burn, frequency separation); color-grading (primary, secondary, split-tone, cinematic); composites (layer-masking, chiaroscuro, tone-matching).
Aesthetic Techniques: distinct visual identity (consistent mood, tone, narrative); adaptation of classic and popular media (cinema, literature, music); set design (conception, curation, assembly, and styling).
