MEXICAN REVOLUTION
Photo by AGUSTIN CASASOLA
Agustín Víctor Casasola (28 July 1874 – 30 March 1938)[1][2] was a Mexican photographer and partial founder of the Mexican Association of Press Photographers.[3]
Casasola began his career as a typographer for the newspaper El Imparcial, eventually moving to reporter then on to photographer in the early 1900s.[4] He became a photographer in 1894.[1] By 1911 Casasola was credited with founding the first Mexican press agency, Agencia Fotografica Mexicana. Casasola was later thanked by the interim president in 1911, Francisco León de la Barra, for having "inaugurated a new phase of freedom in the press photography." By the end of 1912 the agency had expanded and changed its name to Agencia Mexicana de Informacion Fotografica. The agency brought on more photographers and began purchasing pictures from foreign agencies and amateurs, then redistributing those photographs to newspapers.[3]
