COVER: SUMMER 2005
ROSEMARIE LION PHOTOGRAPHY
"I am a storyteller," relates Rosemarie Lion, "a recorder and collector of visual vignettes inspired by real people and real life." Rosemarie's wedding photography blends photojournalism, portraiture and art to capture the unique personalities and style of each celebration. A native of Austria, she relishes the fact that Bay Area weddings are "a melding of world cultures, a fusion of lifestyle and fashion, and old traditions mixed with new." Rosemarie's photo chronicle of a lavish Persian wedding was featured in Diablo magazine, and she's been published in a variety of newspapers, magazines and books. Though she earned her B.A. in Photojournalism, Rosemarie has a free-style approach that lets her draw inspiration from the smallest details and quietest moments. Her portraits, like the one on our cover, reflect emotional spontaneity.
