VANESSA ROGERS

Photographer Vanessa Rogers obtained her formal training at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology and the School of Visual Arts. With a portfolio that includes travel, lifestyle, food, and fashion, she has published work in Time, Porter, Shape, and Women’s Wear Daily, among other publications. Rogers photographed Carlos Rosso, president of Related Group’s Condominium Development Division, featured in “Sky High.” What was your inspiration for this shoot? We were fortunate enough to have a great rooftop location, in one of Carlos’s newest buildings in Brickell, to use as our backdrop. The views were amazing in every direction, so we used our light to create drama and contrast between our subject and the skyline looking south to Coral Gables. I was eager to portray Mr. Rosso as an icon and innovator of the industry, and using dramatic light seemed like the right choice.
