Jorge B. Hernandez is a photojournalist currently attending California State University Long Beach. He has resided in Long Beach since birth, maintaining a deep familiarity with the community and its people to this day. Hernandez has taken photographs since he was 10, inspired by street photography with an artistic vision of capturing emotions and using photography as his voice - shooting interesting moments, revisiting the changing memories of his past, and photographing events, including in his favorite district of Little Tokyo.
He started learning journalism in 2019 at Long Beach City College, covering several protests, political rallies, and sporting events throughout his time in training and experience.
His goal is to work as a photojournalist for any available publication or website, to provide them with photo stories that give readers an immersive experience unlike any other. He aspires to travel to New York City to explore the city that never sleeps and meet the people who make it thrive.
