15 Years and a New Studio Location

Today Reuben Hernandez Studios celebrates 15 years of making stuff, creativity, and resilience. We have also moved into a new studio location at 67 West Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and are now located in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We were actually in the same Brooklyn building before the pandemic so it feels like a full circle, homecoming moment. Five years ago, there was a lot of uncertainty and we were unsure if we could continue this work. And here we are. Thanks to everyone that that has supported and believed in us on this wild journey. We look forward to seeing you at our new studio.

Christian Siriano X Unisom

This year I had the pleasure of filming part of this Met Gala Sleeping Beauties campaign featuring Christian Siriano for Unisom. The campaign won Social Media Campaign of the Year at the 2024 Healthcare Marketing Impact Awards presented by Modern Healthcare and Ad Age. Thanks to Shane LaVancher, The Martin Agency, and Lippe Taylor for the opportunity. Congrats to The Martin Agency and everyone that worked on this campaign!

This year I also filmed part of a documentary feature film and was a director of photography on a true crime TV series. I’m grateful for these projects and am looking forward to what 2025 will bring. Happy New Year!

Coastlines: At the Water's Edge hardcover book

I’m excited to announce that one of my Antarctica images has been published in the hardcover book, Coastlines: At the Water’s Edge by Emily Nathan, published by Ten Speed Press and released this week. This is my first book publication so I’m absolutely honored to be a part of this project. I received an advance copy of the book earlier this month and was pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful and stunning the book turned out. It’s been wonderful to see my image in print and to share my work with a broader audience. Coastlines is a love letter to the sea and the planet that’s been years in the making, and we hope it will inspire you to take small and large steps to protect our planet.

Westbeth

A New Chapter for Reuben Hernandez Studios

I'm so excited and honored to be a resident of Westbeth Artists Housing! It feels like I've come full circle because I lived in the West Village when I first moved to NYC 11 years ago, and my last studio in Brooklyn was also coincidentally on West Street. Westbeth has a rich history, formally the Bell Labs building, and residents have included Diane Arbus, Vin Diesel, Robert De Niro Sr., and Bob Gruen (John Lennon's photographer). Keith Haring had his first solo show at Westbeth in 1981. Westbeth is also home to the Martha Graham Dance Company, the oldest continually performing dance company in the world and The New School for Drama. In other news I finally got a farm table! Time to make something...

New Year, New Work

One of the highlights of 2021 was creating new work in Aruba. The first two images were photographed at the Natural Pool, located in a remote area in Arikok National Park. The second image was taken while free diving; there was an abundant amount of marine life and the visibility was excellent.
