Boix, as he is usually known, was a photographer and a Spanish republican exiled in France in 1939. In Mauthausen he was assigned to the photographic department. In 1946 he was a witness at the Nuremberg trails, where he provided photographic evidence of Nazi atrocities as well as the involvement of high-ranking former Nazi officials in Mauthausen concentration camp.

He later worked as a reporter for such publications as Ce soir, L'Humanité, and Regards.
