Bostelmann started working as a professional photographer in 1961, documenting Mexico’s indigenous communities and impoverished rural areas. In 1970, he published America: un viaje a través de la injusticia [America: A journey through Injustice], exposing the terrible working conditions of the impoverished campesinos of Latin America.
America: Un viaje a traves de la injusticia (America: Journey Through Injustice), is correctly considered his masterpiece, and right from the books powerful cover--which shows an anonymous pair of hands bound together with rope being dragged along by a person or persons unknown - his political concern is made absolutely clear...Bostelmann's style is that if the gritty street photographer, but he has a cinematic sense of narrative and takes care not to be too dramatic, letting the pictures speak for themselves."--Parr & Badger
