Sacred Lessons Behind the Lens: Healing Through Photography with Estevan Oriol

In this episode of Sacred Lessons, host Mike de la Rocha sits down with legendary photographer and director Estevan Oriol, whose lens has defined Los Angeles and global street culture for decades. From tour-managing Cypress Hill and House of Pain to receiving his first camera from his father, Estevan shares how photography became his medicine. Together, they explore how images can heal by restoring dignity, visibility, and belonging to those often unseen. Through his work, Estevan reminds us that representation is care, memory is justice, and every image can be an act of healing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
