Ernesto Román is a boutique hospitality photographer based in New York City, with an editorial sensibility shaped by a decade of work across hotels, resorts, and design-driven brands. He also works as a creative director and videographer, partnering with hotels and brands on campaigns that go beyond a single photo shoot.

His years as Editor for A Hotel Life — traveling, photographing, and writing about some of the world's most inspiring boutique hotels — shaped a taste for the small details that make a space feel considered rather than just designed.

Beyond hospitality, Ernesto often photographs on tour with Colombian band Bomba Estéreo, which regularly puts him on the road across Latin America and Europe — colorful, high-energy work that moves at a different rhythm than his editorial hospitality shoots: fast, live, and unrepeatable.

Today, he works independently, available for hospitality, editorial, and brand assignments worldwide.

His clients span boutique hotels and design-driven brands — from The Ritz-Carlton and Mercer Hotel to Surface Magazine and The BBC.
