The Chicago Humanities Presents…
[ About the Event ]
World-renowned photographer, director, and urban lifestyle entrepreneur Estevan Oriol has built a career capturing both the gritty and the glamorous sides of Los Angeles. From intimate portraits of the rich and famous to powerful images of Latino, urban, gang, and tattoo cultures, Oriol’s lens offers an unflinching and deeply human look at life in L.A.
He began his creative journey as a tour manager for the legendary rap groups Cypress Hill and House of Pain, where he started documenting life on the road, unknowingly launching what would become a groundbreaking career in photography. Since then, his portfolio has grown to include iconic portraits of Al Pacino, Snoop Dogg, Kim Kardashian, Adrien Brody, Floyd Mayweather, and many more.
Join us for a captivating conversation with Estevan Oriol as he reflects on his prolific body of work, shares behind-the-scenes stories, and discusses his lasting impact on visual culture and the Chicano community at large.
