JOSH S. ROSE is a multidisciplinary artist working in photography, film and writing. His practice bridges visual and performing arts, often exploring the expressive boundaries between movement, emotion and image.
In his longstanding collaborations with leading dance companies and performers, Rose accentuates the poetry of authenticity alongside exacting composition, a balance he describes as technical romanticism. This sensibility has come to define his evolving trajectory as a multidisciplinary storyteller pioneering the creation of art about other art forms.
His work has been commissioned and exhibited internationally, appearing everywhere from Vogue to the Super Bowl to film festivals, and most recently as a forty-year installation for THE LINCOLN CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, expected to be seen by more than a billion people. Rose is a sought-after collaborator, having brought his lens to artists and arts organizations of all kinds, including Esa-Pekka Salonen, The New York City Ballet, Los Angeles Dance Project, The Museum of Contemporary Art, LA Phil, The Wallis, Benjamin Millepied, Bobbi Jean Smith, Or Schraiber, Doug Aitken and many others.
Before dedicating himself fully to image-making, Rose spent two decades as a creative leader within the Interpublic Group, ultimately serving as Chief Creative Officer. He later founded Humans Are Social, a creative production company. Rose’s impressive client list has included brands like Volkswagen, Playstation, Dr Pepper, Fisher-Price and Samsung.
