History

Established in 1964.

In July 1962, George entered and won a photo competition and won 1^st place with a photo of a model. Laid off from his job at Douglas Air Craft, the same year George went into photography full time. In those years there was no portable TV coverage. All still photography and 16 mm. The first 6 or 7 years 85% of his assignments were models, Beauty pageants, Hollywood premiers, Academy Awards. He was the official photographer for California World Pageant and the International Beauty Congress. At the same time he worked to establish a commercial studio in Gardena and in 1964 Castro Studios was a reality.

George and his wife Edyth raised 5 daughters, Cheri, Toni, Christina, Theresa and Barbara. They all worked hard at making Castro Studios a fine photography business. After finishing high school, Barbara went on to college taking photo journalism, and has been in the business ever since. George, Barbara, and the whole family have successfully been operating for well over 45 years.
