Author Portraits by Andres Hernandez |
NYC Photographer for Book Covers, PR & Publicity
As a portrait photographer based in New York City, I’ve had the privilege of photographing some of today’s most compelling literary voices—including New York Times bestselling authors Julia Phillips, Kate Zambreno, Michael Morpurgo, Serena Burdick, and many more.
Whether you need a portrait for a book jacket, a press feature, a speaking engagement, or an updated headshot for your website, I work closely with authors to create images that feel honest, timeless, and true to their voice. If you're not used to being in front of the camera, that's okay—I'll guide you through the process and ensure the shoot feels relaxed and natural. Let's create a portrait that tells your story.
