Estevan Oriol is hailed as the eye of the new wave Latino aesthetic. Coming up from the streets and the Hip Hop scene, his rough and ready images of his neighborhood homies caught the attention of major media and music players. Oriol has since been commissioned by Nike and Cadillac, as well as directing music videos for Eminem, Linkin Park, D12 and Xzibit. He began taking pictures of his neighborhood and low-rider culture and soon discovered his incredible talent for capturing raw street life. He is now one of the most sought after photographers in the urban community.

Rodeo Drive, 1984 is a series of 41 images of shoppers on Beverly Hills' infamous shopping highway. The subjects appear caught unaware, glancing up as they walk, or daydreaming as they wait to be served in its commercial landscape of shops and restaurants. Anthony Hernandez poses as a dispassionate observer, recording the big hair, wide shoulders and cinched waists of the 1980's in sunlit photographs.

"An uncanny and imaginative autobiography of otherness, it offers the fictional record of a writer in the realms of the fantastic shot through with the memories of a pair of Somali-American children growing up in the 1980s. Operating under the sign of two—texts and drawings, brother and sister, black and white, extraordinary and everyday —Monster Portraits multiplies, disintegrates, and blends, inviting the reader to find the danger in the banal, the beautiful in the grotesque. Accumulating into a breathless journey and groundbreaking study, these brief fictions and sketches claim the monster as a fragmentary vastness: not the sum but the derangement of its parts."--Amazon.com.
