context_page_description: Rodrigo Moya is a Mexican photojournalist, writer and publisher who is best known for his photographic work from 1955 to 1968. Moya began his photojournalism career after apprenticing with Colombian photojournalist Guillermo Angulo, taking over Angulo’s job when he went to Italy to study cinema. For the next thirteen years, Moya worked for various news magazines covering stories in Mexico and Latin America, especially social and political upheavals such as guerrilla fighters in Venezuela and Guatemala. He also went in 1964 to Cuba to document the revolution there, and took a series of portraits of Che Guevara, including El Ché melancólico one of two iconic images of Guevara. In 1968, Moya decided he could no longer make a living in photography and worked until the end of the decade as a magazine publisher and short story writer, leaving a large archived packed away. In the very late 1990s, a long illness forced him to move to open and reevaluate this archive and has since worked to promote these images.
