José Luis Cuevas, Mexico City, 1973
Since 2002 he has dedicated himself to developing projects based on a documentary methodology, but conceived with absolute freedom, both in his production and in his narrative approaches. His images are nourished by personal reflections, daily observation, research and other artistic disciplines. In 2009 he joined the
Sistema Nacional de Creadores en México (National System of Creators in Mexico). In 2016, he was mentioned by the British Journal of Photography in "The Talent Issue: Ones to Watch 2016" and by Hunger Magazine in its article "Five Mexican photographers you have to know." In 2015,
TIME cited him as one of the nine Mexican photographers to follow. His first book
New Era was published by Editorial RM. In October 2017, during the FotoMéxico Festival, the Centro de la Imagen opened an individual exhibition of his most recent series. In addition, the Musée du quai Branly, in Paris, has granted him a residency for artistic project development in Japan during the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018.
