Commercial & Editorial Photography
“
Having been a music festival producer for over 35 years,
I have never met a more qualified photographer than Joe
Rosen. He is practically invisible to both the musicians and
the audiences while getting his best shots. He has become
part of the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Team, having sailed
and photographed 30 straight LRBC’s. The consummate
Professional.

…IT IS AN INNATE CREATIVITY TO SEE
THE UNSEEN, TO MOVE BEYOND THE
OBVIOUS AND TO BRING FORTH AN
IMAGE THAT IS BRILLIANT TODAY
AND TIMELESS FOR THE MEMORY.

I have worked with Joe Rosen for more than 20 years and he is
an excellent photographer. His attention to detail is unmatched,
making him a go-to guy. You know he is going to get it done
no matter what barriers may arise. He is at the top of my list
for ethics and I trust him as I would my own family. Joe is also
a clear communicator in a personable manner – a damn good
photographer and an all-around good guy.

Joe Rosen knows how to set up a photograph and then close the
deal at just the right instant. Neither of these qualities can be
bought or downloaded. It takes experience, true, but primarily
it is an innate creativity to see the unseen, to move beyond the
obvious and to bring forth an image that is brilliant today and
timeless for the memory.

Technique and unique style are of course fully there, but Joe’s photography has the added element of the human spirit, which takes a true artist to capture. There are whole stories told in all his images.

Joseph A. ‘Joe’ Rosen is a master photographer whose
extraordinary eye, uncanny sense of timing, highly developed
technical facility, and well-honed gift for human interaction
have delivered stunning results wherever he has applied them,
from a wide range of corporate assignments to his unrivaled
documentation of musical performance. As a music filmmaker,
I have been blessed to have Joe standing beside me on remote
filming locations from the Mexican Riviera to the Caribbean,
confident that the dynamic and luminous images he captures
will easily complement the work of my own cinematographers,
making him as valuable for me as a perceptive collaborator as he
otherwise is as a stand-alone visual artist of unique talent and
accomplishment.

“
Years ago, I learned that certain cultures would not allow people
to take their portraits, as they believed that their souls would
be captured forever in the photos. I always thought, yes, that is
what a good photographer should reveal, and Joe always has. His
pictures of musicians over the years have captured their spirit,
whether taken of them performing or just hanging out.
