Narrative Cinematography Reel
My name is Destin Hernandez
I am a half-Puerto Rican, half-Dominican cinematographer, gaffer, and 1st AC based in NYC.
I like to use a contextual, adaptive, and experimental approach to cinematography and lighting, and give immense value to the core message of a project when deciding how to shoot it.
My team members always know that I value the story being told above all else and will do whatever it takes to make sure our images shine.
While the camera is my first love, I have experience in nearly every department, including Directing, Editing, and Writing. This experience is paramount when working to ensure the project is told the right way.
Working with me means the story we are telling will be told the way it NEEDS to be told.
From Commercials and Corporate interviews, to Music Videos and Short Films…
From Pre-Production to Delivery
We are with you the entire way

We pride ourselves on telling our clients’ stories in whatever style they prefer!
