Buenos Aires, Argentina
Born in Buenos Aires in 1989, Javier Agustín Rojas trained first as an architect (Universidad de Belgrano, 2013) before turning his focus to the camera. Early courses with Ricardo Torossian and Juan Travnik at the Escuela Argentina de Fotografía sharpened his eye; editing stints at PLOT magazine (executive editor, 2014–17) taught him to read buildings the way writers read texts. That double background now shapes a photographic practice centred on the slow observation of how structures meet weather, light, and daily use.
Working across South America and abroad, Rojas collaborates with architects, museums, and publishers, producing image series that serve simultaneously as documentation and critical commentary. His photographs of contemporary Latin-American work appear regularly in international journals, and he lectures on visual culture at universities from Buenos Aires to Houston. When not on assignment, he directs the Centro de Estudios de Arquitectura Contemporánea at the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, continuing research on the relationship between drawing, building, and image.
