Taken at Dances of Vice, The Cursed Circus
“Steven Rosen has been shooting weddings, portraits, and performers for the last six years, and his decades of work in the fashion and graphic design industries gives him a highly developed sense of color, light and composition. He has been praised for his ability to bring out an authenticity in his portrait subjects, and for capturing moments of true tenderness and joy at the wedding he has shot.”
“He works throughout New York as a portrait, theater and event photographer. His love for the performing arts brought him to the New York Musical Theater festival, where he’s been the official photographer for the last 4 years. He has also worked for DanceBreak and Dancers responding to AIDS. His love for theatricality has also exerted itself with a body of work exploring modern day dandies and flappers.”

"DANCES OF VICE is the art of nightlife once again revived. The creation of Shien Lee, Dances of Vice began in New York in 2007 as a venue showcasing an exotic melange of art, performance and music influenced by that special time in history, the 1920s and 30s. Since then, it has blossomed to include Victorian and Rococo themed events with a New Romantic flair, attracting a sordidly splendid menagerie of elegant dandies, aesthetes, dreamers and ne'er-do-wells who gather in shared enthusiasm for the music, fashion, culture, and beauty of times forgotten.
The grand vision that is Dances of Vice is more than the name implies; it is the Dance of decadence, of opulence and glamour, and the unique bringing together of today's new romantics through themed evenings that combine Art, Music, Spectacle and Dance. Dances of Vice incorporates a myriad of magnificent influences of the past in Dadaistic celebration of the liberating effects of beauty, fantasy and surrealism.
Dances of Vice events have regularly appeared in the New York Times, SPIN Magazine, NBC, Village Voice, Time Out NY, New York Post, and L Magazine. Recently, Dances of Vice has also been featured by NHK Japan, Imago Magazine, MTV News, Deathrock Magazine, Gothic Beauty Magazine, and Gothic & Lolita Bible."
