Altamont x Eriberto Oriol
Another one for the shutterbugs…
The Altamont crew hooked up with iconic Los Angeles-based photographer Eriberto Oriol for a killer series of tees, now available at Karmaloop.
Dubbed “a people’s aesthete for his discerning eye” by the Los Angeles Times, Eriberto’s photos feature a strong sense of perspective and composition, merging with dude’s gift for capturing the raw essence and realities of L.A. Latino street life. Eriberto’s eye and lens has since been inherited by his son – you might have heard of him: Estevan Oriol, a renowned photographer in his own right as well as bossman of his namesake clothing brand via Upper Playground. It was Eriberto, however, who planted the seed – literally.
Eriberto has been published globally, including features in magazines Juxtapoz and Warp Japan, along with the aforementioned Times and The San Francisco Chronicle just to name a few, and continues to live and work in his hometown of Los Angeles to this day. With the Eriberto Oriol for Altamont Collection, Eriberto chose four iconic images from his catalog that represent his cultural roots and environment and applied them to tees with symbolic captions, with longtime friend and collaborator Mister Cartoon (one of the illest tattoo artists the world has ever known) creating the Eriberto signature icon.
