Oswaldo García (b. 1989 in Querétaro, Mexico) is a photographer and art conservator who graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the UAQ.

He is the editor, printer, and co-founder of Gold Rain—a Mexican publisher of artist books, which won the Shannon Michael Cane Award (LAABF19), granted by Printed Matter and the Shannon Michael Cane Memorial Fund to outstanding emerging book artists and projects. With Gold Rain x Da Substanz, he publishes artist’s books, catalogs, fanzines, editorial accidents, and other experimental books in limited or spontaneous editions, mainly printed in risograph, and always in close contact with authors and artists.

García’s artistic work mines documentary and constructed photography, archiving (personal and public), accumulation, and time/space through experimental film photography techniques and artist books.
