Claire Rosen is a photographer, video artist and educator. She loves big dresses, vintage taxidermy and adventures. Much of her inspiration comes from fairy tales, fables and other children's stories. She is drawn both to beauty and darkness as it exists in life, and her images explore this duality.

This year, Claire's commercial work has been recognized by Communication Arts Photography Annual, Prix de la Photographie, Sony World Awards (short list) as well as The Art Project: W Magazine (short list). In 2009, her self portrait series received a top award from the Prix de la Photographie. Claire is currently represented by Verve Gallery, Gallery 51 and Asymmetrick Arts; her fine art work has been exhibited widely and is included in many public and private collections. She has been featured in Direct Art, Creative Quarterly Journal, Photocine News and The Montclair Times. Her client list includes Prevention Magazine, Random House Publishing, Doubleday Magazine, The London Sunday Fashion Times, Bangz Salon & Spa, Alex Randall Bespoke Lighting, Ryan Wilde Millinery, Alex Young and Cora Pearl Underpinnings.

In addition, Claire teaches courses in photography at the New Jersey Visual Arts Center, Unique University and through NORDphotography.
