This showcased event has concluded.
Robert Rosen is one of Australia's foremost social photographers. Over four decades he's attended parties, concerts, fashion events and nightclubs across London, Europe and Australia, capturing the rich, famous and fabulous for the social pages of a slew of local and international newspapers and magazines.
Defying the image of the pushy, intrusive paparazzi, Rosen was polite and discreet, earning the trust of his subjects to make them forget he was actually working as he drank champagne, networked and juggled the three cameras slung around his neck. A participant observer, he favoured the spontaneity of the unobtrusive auto-focus camera which enabled him to capture intimate portraits that convey the mood and energy of the times.
Rosen's curiosity and generosity of spirit inspired him to document an eclectic mix of international and local celebrities (David Bowie, Cate Blanchett, Boy George), artists (Margaret Olley, Andy Warhol, Brett Whiteley), politicians (Bob Hawke, Gough Whitlam, Paul Keating) and socialites (Lady Sonia McMahon, Di Hamill, Dame Edna Everage, Charlotte Dawson) in images cultural historian Warren Fahey described as 'witty, sensitive and often consensually wicked'.
