Stefania Rosini
From the enchanting landscapes of Tuscany to the vibrant energy of Los Angeles, Stefania Rosini’s journey as a photographer has always been guided by a deep passion for observing and telling the story of the world through images.
Her fascination with photography began at the age of eight, while watching her cousin print photographs in a darkroom — a moment that sparked a profound and lasting connection to the medium. At thirteen, she received her first camera, a Canon Junior, and began photographing the lives of her family and friends. For Stefania, photography immediately became a bridge between herself and the world: a way to witness life’s fleeting moments while remaining an invisible observer.
Born in the small Tuscan village of Montepescali, near Grosseto, Stefania carries with her the visual poetry of her homeland, while continuing to draw inspiration from travel, cinema, music, and the many cultures she encounters. She graduated from DAMS at the University of Bologna, a program dedicated to the arts, music, cinema, and performing arts, with a focus on the History of Italian Cinema.
Her professional path began through collaborations with several Italian photo agencies, followed by a transformative period in New York City in 2007. Upon returning to Europe, she collaborated with renowned artist Maurizio Galimberti, an experience that further shaped her visual sensitivity and artistic approach.
Stefania has a particular affinity for concert photography, where the adrenaline of live performance, unpredictable lighting, and authentic emotion fuel her creative energy. She is also deeply connected to the timeless quality of analog photography, especially black and white, which continues to influence her visual language.
Today, Stefania lives and works between Italy and Los Angeles, focusing primarily on unit still photography for film and television. A member of the Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers (SMPSP) since 2018, she brings a personal and distinctive cinematic eye to every project, capturing both the essential moments on set and the more intimate, quiet interactions between cast and crew.
In 2026, she was nominated for the ICG Publicists Awards in the category Excellence in Unit Still Photography – Motion Picture, a recognition that celebrates her contribution to motion picture still photography.
Among her most significant works is her collaboration with Gus Van Sant on the film Dead Man’s Wire, a particularly meaningful experience in her artistic and professional journey. Eighteen of her unit still photographs were also included in the final cut of the film, becoming an integral part of its cinematic storytelling.
Through her lens, Stefania preserves the atmosphere, emotion, and hidden magic of filmmaking — one image at a time.
