Estevan began his start in photography touring with musical acts like House of Pain & Cypress Hill. He's shot everything from music videos to magazine covers to celebrities. California Love featured selections chosen by him & Milk of LA culture, including lowriders, portraits & street photographs.
Estevan's been able to capture areas & moments that are usually inaccessible to the average onlooker. In his words, "If you don't take risks, you don't get the photos."
