Claire Rosen’s Fairytale Photography.

Inspired by fashion and fairy tales, photographer Claire Rosen constructs whimsical worlds, designs costumes and captures beauty with her camera. As both a fine art and commercial photographer, Rosen explores the dualities that exist in life. By working with themes and imagery from fables and children’s stories, Rosen investigates universal truths while appealing to our desire for fantasy.

Lightness and darkness, the real and the imagined, the beautiful and the bizarre – all of these paradoxes permeate Rosen’s work. The contradictory nature and the tension generated by her imagery entices us to get lost in Rosen’s photographic narratives. We are challenged by the unfamiliar and then rewarded with experience and knowledge. Luring us into worlds that blend fact and fiction and onto journeys that make us question everything we know, Rosen encourages us to look at the familiar in new ways, and allows us to live in a fairy tale, even if for just one moment.
