In the last decade, Eduardo Antonio Caballero has been acclaimed as a great figure in Mexican photography, popularized for his work as a photonovelist, although little known for its fair complexity and narrative capacity. Photo-journalist, union leader, film promoter, public relations man, throughout his career he embraced the simultaneous practice of photojournalism, studio portraiture and the staging of photonovels.
In addition to his talent and originality, he has great testimonial value regarding the modernity of the capital around the third quarter of the 20th century, because through his portraits he captured the best of the aesthetic spirit of the time, from fashion and automobiles to furniture and architecture. In the peculiar work of this great author, the sensual nature of his images is evident, in a style that combines charisma, flirtation, romanticism, sensuality and a touch of humor.
