I love the way Castillo’s photos capture the latino culture in a very honest and raw way. He does an amazing job at capturing Chicano historical moments.

If you have ever seen a photo of Chicanos protesting in late 1960s or early '70s Los Angeles, chances are it may have been taken by Oscar Castillo.
Iconic images of Mexican Americans marching down Whittier Boulevard protesting the Vietnam War during the Chicano Moratorium in 1970 and portraits of Chicano artists at work are part of Castillo’s prolific output that has made its way into museum exhibits, scholarly writings and documentaries.
“If we don't do it, nobody else will, or they'll do it wrong.”— Oscar Castillo on the need for Latinos to document Chicano L.A.
