My name is Rose. I am a Chicago based cinematic editorial photographer specializing in concerts, live performances, and portraits. 

I do not manufacture moments. I wait for them. My best work happens when my subjects forget I’m in the room. What a performer goes somewhere else mid performance, when a couple stops performing for the camera and just exist together. This is what I am chasing. 

my style is dark, warm and intentional. Influenced by film, built in low light and edited to feel like a scene from a movie you can’t quite name, but also can’t forget. 

I shoot manual. I don’t use flash. Partly because I like comfortably in the dark and partly out of respect for others who experience photosensitivity. That constraint isn’t a limitation. It’s what taught me to read light instead of creating it. 

I develop my own film. I have a vision and I want to protect it. 

Rose Komplex Photography was bult on one belief If I can’t find it my camera will create it. If you’re a musical, performer, a mom creating life, or a couple eloping lets work together.
