Rubén Espinosa Becerril was a "self taught photographer and journalist.". He also worked for an agency called the Eclipse Photo Agency. He had very interesting and ground-breaking experiences while working in his profession. While he was taking photos while covering the protests against Governor Javier Durarte in response to a murder of a corespondent of a magazine, the police stopped him and threatened to beat him for his actions. Another incident in 2013 occurred while he was talking pictures of a violent eviction. While he was taking these pictures, state authorities attacked him along with other reporters and took his images. They were then deleted, and after filiing a complaint about his treatment, he began to get harassed. Sadly he was murdered in Mexico city, along with 4 others.
