My special project with @kellfire is coming to life! Our #LiveSpiritPhotography in situ 👻 Archival prints mounted in one-of-a-kind vintage frames! We are making these portraits on April 6 at the @odditiesfleamarket After-Party. They involve using the arcane #PeppersGhost technique, with all haunting effects done in camera. That evening we are also printing the images and mounting them in these true vintage frames-some of the ones you see here will be available that night! ▶️Swipe to see close ups and details🖤Very limited sessions!

Being filmed for the @amazonprimevideo TV series @thevintagevoyageur yesterday was a surprisingly empowering experience! It also helped me empathize more with people I photograph *ahem filming in closets*😅 I noticed that I have quite a lot of new followers (I see you!) from the circles of menswear, vintage, art, fashion worlds, and I think this is a good time to welcome everyone and reintroduce myself👋 🕵🏻‍♀️ I’m Rose Callahan a lifelong photographer, professionally and artistically, based in Brooklyn. Photography is my way to fall in love with the world. Since I first started making photos when I was 10 years old my passion has been portraiture. I’m endlessly fascinated by people. I’ve also always been obsessed with fashion and style (I’m a confirmed over dresser) so my work naturally floats between these two inspirations. 📸 I have been called a “curator of character” and I quite like the way that sounds! My favorite people to photograph have authentic and well cultivated personal style so that my best work straddles the worlds of portraiture and fashion. This is my happy place. I’m never more energized then when I can let my curiosity and camera run wild visiting a remarkable person at home to document their story and style. I have done this countless times and it never gets old. This led me to start a personal project over ten years ago called the @dandyportraits which became a blog, then two coffee table books profiling men around the world for whom dressing is elevated to an art: #IamDandy and #WeAreDandy both published by @Gestalten with writer @NattyAdams 🎩 Another project for which many people recognize me is as the photographer of the @MetOpera’s styleblog @LastNightAtTheMet Since 2013 I have been documenting the best personal style of the audience. It’s wildly fun to do! There is such a diverse array of people and fashion on display on any given evening. While shooting one night someone said, “Oh you’re like the Bill Cunningham of the opera!” I’ll take it! 🕵🏻‍♀️ I hope that gives you a better picture of who I am! Instagram is such a great place to connect with kindred spirits, so I hope to hear from you in comments and dm along the journey.
Ignacio @sartorialpairings coming at the world strong in this portrait by @rcallahanphoto , an outtake from #IamDandy book. I enjoy seeing how the people I have photographed and gotten to know over time, their style is always in a state of becoming, unfolding as their life does. Personally I’m always searching for what is iconic, the essence, or perhaps what is eternal in my own style and people that I photograph. I know it’s futile, because everything shifts and develops over time - and that is actually good! But I can’t help but yearning for this. • • #IgnacioQuiles #sartorialparings #rosecallahan #dandyportraits #wearedandy #dandylion #blackdandy #viviennewestwood #streetstyle #personalstyle #diversifythelens #femalephotographer #womenphotographingmen #environmentalportrait #westvillagenyc

@taishinobukuni aka Mad Tailor photographed by @rcallahanphoto in Tokyo at @saturdaysnyc in #Daikanyama 🇯🇵 An outtake from #WeAreDandy book. Fun to look through archive and see how different shots come to the surface, how my eye changes and stays the same. #taishinobukuni #rosecallahan #saturdaystokyo #dandyportraits #IamDandy #japanesemenswear #japanesebespoke #bespoketailor #madtailor
Portrait of debonair @mattdobkin for his new album Six Songs of Protest. He took the 2016 election as a call to action to make modern protest songs 💪 I’ve worked with him for many years on @lastnightatthemet with the @metopera and I am really proud to shoot visuals for his creative labor of love. #sixsongsofprotest #theresistance #stayhuman #keepshowingup #diversifythelens #womenbehindthelens
“Kayla Haunted by Her Own Nature”, a portrait in a new series called #LiveSpiritPhotography, a special project with @kellfire under the auspices of @rarebitproductions 💀 These portraits are an elaborate process that gets me to slow down, which is very enjoyable after 15➕ years of commercial work that has trained me to be fast...maybe too fast. There are pros and cons! ➕ What is #LiveSpiritPhotography you ask? It is our version of the classic #SpiritPhotography genre of the 19th and early 20th centuries that we’ve developed using the #PeppersGhost technique, all shot digitally in camera with NO RETOUCHING. ➕ Join us APRIL 6 as we set up our unique portrait studio for the first time to the public at the @odditiesfleamarket After Party hosted by @atlasobscura! The price of sitting includes an archival print mounted in a one-of-a-kind true vintage frame. We have collected these frames from far and wide just for this event! Very limited portrait sessions available, please visit ticket link @rarebitproductions or www.atlasobscura.com ➕ #rarebitproductions #odditiesfleamarket #oddities #odditiesflea #atlasobscura #creepy #ghost #haunting #spooky #spiritphotograph #spiritualism #spectre #apparition #noretouching #incameraeffects
When I took this portrait of @mmdc_illustrateur I fell in love a little bit more with life. It was @kellfire and my first trip to Paris in 2011, the one where he got locked in the bathroom of our apartment share, and the one where he later proposed in London under the watch of two bats. I was fully engrossed in the @dandyportraits, a project I began in 2008, and had no idea it would become two published books with writer @nattyadams. It didn’t feel like the beginning, but it was in many ways. Happy beginning of spring everyone! 🌸 #IamDandy #weAreDandy #dandyportraits #rosecallahan #massimilianomocchiadicoggiola #femalephotographer #diversifythelens #environmentalportrait
Portrait of @lady.ashton in her killer suit by @nattyadams 🥃 I was inspired to post because I’ve been following along with suit lover @pieraluisa as she crowdsources the best hashtags for women who love to wear suits. So far top ones are #suitsuitssuitio #creativepursuit #whenindoubtsuititout #suitopia 💥 I personally love #strongsuit #ladysuit and of course #ladydandy 🕵🏻‍♀️
