In February 2018 I was privileged to be published by the Royal Photographic Society's Visual Art magazine. I am honoured to feature on an extended
article which describes how I started in photography during my school years, and what motivates me when shooting architectural images.
Visual Art magazine is only available to members of the Royal Photographic Society but you can read a digital version of the article by clicking on the image below.
The International Photography Awards (IPA) have announced the winners of 2015's competition. I am delighted to have received 2 Honorary Mentions.
This is the third year that Iñaki has
been awarded by the prestigious International Photography Awards in Los Angeles which this year received in excess of 27,000 submissions.
Iñaki Hernandez was Awarded: Honorable Mention in
Architecture - Buildings category for the winning entry "Guggenheim Bilbao Museum."
Iñaki Hernandez was Awarded: Honorable Mention in Architecture - Interiors category for the winning entry
"Milwaukee Art Museum."
"Iñaki has masterfully shot many fantastic subjects around the world, among which is the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum by Frank Gehry. For me, from the
moment I saw Iñaki's photographs of it, the museum will be forever related with his name.
Maybe each photographer can be represented by one of his subjects. If this is the case, Iñaki's spirit and the
Guggenheim Museum's are surely kindred spirits".
Julia Anna Gospodarou - Architect & Fine Art Architectural Photographer
"Architecture is an art form. Photography is also an art form. But when combined, architectural photography is often just a documentary
process, recording the vision of the architect and the skills of the labourer. But not always...
Sometimes, architectural photography becomes art, when the photographer shares his or her own vision of
the structures they photograph. This is one such case: www.ihlphotography.com".
C. Whyte, FIPF, EFIAP Gold
"Iñaki has been a source of inspiration for me for some time now. His unique and often uncommon shots are always an interesting reference to discovering new angles and approach to some of the world's most renowned buildings.
His interior design compositions express the feeling, atmosphere and give a good sense of the space. On the other hand, Iñaki's architectural details always seem to have a great balance, symmetry and outstanding flow on the eye".
W. Gurak, Architectural Photographer
"Iñaki's architectural photography is a meticulous search of perfection, trying to show us shapes that have gone unnoticed for us".
S. del Saz, Photographer
Iñaki Hernández-Lasa is an amateur photographer living in Ireland for the last 27 years.
Born in Bilbao, he shares with many photographers his absolute passion for the Guggenheim Museum in his native city.
His interest in photography started during his school years, when he experimented with different photographic
subjects and styles through the medium of film and slide.
In May 2013 Iñaki received a Fellowship of the Irish Photographic Federation
(FIPF) for his work on architectural photography. This is the highest possible distinction awarded by the IPF and Iñaki is the only photographer to have received an FIPF in
architectural photography. He has received many other certifications and accolades for his panels which demonstrate not only his technical ability but also cohesion and mastery in challenging
compositions, use of light, postprocessing and printing techniques.
Over the last few years, Iñaki has presented his work at numerous photographic societies and has acted as a judge for many of them. In 2013 Iñaki was invited to participate as a judge in an international fine art architectural photography competition with the most acclaimed and awarded fine art architectural photographers in the world such as Julia Anna Gospodarou, Joel Tjintjelaar and Akira Takaue amongst others.
Iñaki has photographed some of the most renowned buildings in the world such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A., Berlin's Reichstag, the
Milwaukee Art Museum, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago, La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias in Valencia, Dublin Airport's New Terminal 2 or the Grand Canal Theatre in Dublin to name but a
few.
In 2017 Iñaki received an Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS).
