Orlando Suero
Orlando : The Photography of Orlando Suero Exhibit
A Solo Exhibition at the Hilton Anaheim
The Hilton Anaheim proudly presents the first-ever solo exhibition of renowned photographer Orlando Suero, unveiling a collection of never-before-seen images that celebrate his extraordinary career and artistic vision.
Born in May 1924, this month marks what would have been Suero’s 100th birthday, making this exhibition a timely tribute to his remarkable legacy. Raised in Washington Heights, Manhattan, to immigrant parents—a Cuban father and a Mexican mother—Suero’s journey was one of resilience, dedication, and artistry. A World War II U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Purple Heart recipient, he carried the discipline and courage of his service into his lifelong passion for photography. His lens captured some of history’s most intimate and iconic moments, from Hollywood’s golden era to the quiet beauty of everyday life.
Curated by Britt Samuels Jr. in collaboration with OCAG (Orange Community Arts Guild) and generously sponsored by Susan Shieldkret and David Dull, this exclusive exhibition offers an intimate look at Suero’s masterful storytelling. Featuring rare and never-before-seen works, the collection highlights his ability to distill emotion, history, and human connection into a single frame.
Join us in celebrating 100 years of Orlando Suero, an artist whose photographs continue to inspire and resonate across generations.
