Valerie Rosen is a self-taught travel/street photographer, most recognized for her evocative and poignant environmental portraits from India and Nepal. She feels most at home when she and her camera are crossing paths with people of other cultures, only to confirm that as much as we have our differences, it is our commonalities that truly bind.
