SXSW 2012

Owner/Director/Photographer
Alicia J. Rose Photography
Immersed in the West Coast music scene for nearly two decades, Alicia J. Rose has played a key role in branding such successful Northwest bands as the Decemberists and Menomena through her uniquely-stylized photography and narrative-based music videos. Rose studied at San Francisco State, steeped in video production and photojournalism. At the same time, she embarked on a career in the music industry that ultimately led her into almost every aspect of artist development—from A&R and management to marketing and promotion. In time, she began photographing the bands, out of which emerged a style of personality-driven conceptual portraiture that has been featured on album covers and in such prominent publications as Rolling Stone, Spin, PDN, V, Elle and Vanity Fair Italia.
