Rowan Papier is a British photographer, traveling and working between Europe and New York City.
Papier’s interest in art began at an early age : his practice of fine art throughout his childhood was followed by an education at The London College of Fashion. At the age of 18, he moved from The U.K. to New York City to begin his professional career at the studio of Bruce Weber. At 19, his next position was at the studio of David LaChapelle. Following this, he spent several years on set with Steven Meisel — this is where he earnestly developed his photographic technique, and perspective.
Today, his photography deals with themes of intimacy and empathy, known foremost, for his uniquely deep, poetic portraiture.
