Roj Rodriguez began his career assisting local and visiting photographers in his hometown, Houston, Texas. He relocated to New York City in 2000 where he assisted well-established photographers in projects covering a wide range of subjects including fashion, sports, commercial and advertising. In 2006, he launched the next stage of his career by establishing himself as an independent photographer and director to local and international clients. His first major body of work, Mi Sangre, has won numerous awards and has gained the attention of fine art curators and collectors across the United States and abroad. Selected images from Mi Sangre have been acquired into the permanent collection of six fine art museums, which includes The Museum of Fine Arts of Houston, The San Antonio Museum of Art, La Plaza de Cultura y Artes in Los Angeles, The National Museum of Mexican American Art in Chicago, The Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, The Wittliff Collections in San Marcos, Texas and most recently the Riverside Museum of Art / The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture in Riverside California. Roj now lives in Austin, Texas with his wife and three children.
