Meet Claire Rosen

It has been my pleasure to know Claire Rosen for the past two years. I am especially proud that she is being inducted into Rising Stars of Photography. Claire possesses a unique vision, immense creativity and an infectious passion for the craft of photography. Her former employer and mentor is renowned photographer Joyce Tenneson. Adding that powerful influence to an already gifted photographer's insight and technical skill, Claire is not only a Rising Star but is surely destined to become a Shooting Star.

Claire Rosen -- In her own words

Currently, I have multiple exhibitions across the country to which I am devoting time, while continuing to photograph my self-portrait series. I have just completed the layout of my self-portrait book, and am meeting with publishers. In addition, I am moving my work into the fashion editorial genre and looking forward to working with traditional print media.

Over the last several months, I have created a project which will attempt to help a young homeless girl in her dream to become a model, including creating a portfolio book for her, securing interviews with various agencies and press coverage. At the same time, I am teaching classes and have upcoming workshops in the US and in Norway, and am hoping to expand to other places.
