Olivia Rose

(1985-), Photographer

Artist of 6 portraits
Olivia Rose is an award-winning photographer and director. From shooting artists for magazine editorial to album sleeves and press portraiture, she has worked with some of the foremost contemporary UK musicians. She was one of 100 photographers selected for the British Journal of Photography's 'Portrait of Britain'. In 2016 she published the critically acclaimed book This Is Grime. Her work has appeared on the covers of The Guardian's Guide and Brick magazine, and published in Vogue. Rose also regularly shoots fashion editorial for i-D magazine, preferring to street cast her subjects than use industry models, in an attempt to broaden representation. Rose began directing in early 2018 and has subsequently made videos for Jorja Smith, 6lack ft Future and Skepta.
