About

Phillip Hernandez is a California-based photographer, creative director, and founder of Photo Phil Productions LLC, a content studio specializing in surf, travel, and lifestyle brand campaigns.

Known for balancing documentary instinct with commercial polish, Phillip has carved a niche for himself as a surf photographer with the sensibility of a luxury brand storyteller. He works with high-end travel brands, resort properties, and consumer products to craft visuals that feel cinematic yet real—whether waist-deep in the lineup or staging scenes under a slow sunset.

With roots in California and the Philippines, Phillip brings a global perspective to his work—rooted in community, rhythm, and visual trust. He's BWRAG-certified, experienced in both solo production and full-scale campaign builds, and trusted by clients for his seamless blend of art direction, production, and post.

Through Photo Phil Productions, he delivers everything from branded social content and lifestyle photography to editorial storytelling and full gallery rollouts. His images have supported launches, defined aesthetics, and helped shape how modern surf, leisure, and luxury are visually remembered.
