Pedro Luis Raota (April 26, 1934 – March 4, 1986) is famouse and

world wide known photographer from Argentina, ranked as one of the

leading exponents of American photography and the Argentine

photographer who has received the most awards in contests and

photographic halls all around the world.

In some publications it is indicated that throughout his 52 years of life

Raota obtained more than 3,000 gold medals. Pedro Luis Raota passed

away in 1986 and we can say that His photography showed,

sometimes, the dramatic side of the life, but always dealing the

subjects with irony and humor. Sometimes he was criticized because

some of his photographs were previously set up, but he always

responded: “A Photographer imagines a picture, and if that picture he

imagines doesn’t exist, he will create it just like a Film Director does”
