Rosalind Guder is an internationally award-winning fine art portrait photographer and educator in Los Angeles. A native of Toronto, she began in the haute couture fashion world, designing for Maggie Reeves. There, she also happened upon (and then promptly forgot) the bespoke portrait photography of Yousuf Karsh. From fashion design, she transitioned into the corporate world until she moved to Los Angeles in 1999.
Rosalind's photography career began in 2019, winning some of the most prestigious awards in the industry.In 2020, she joined forces with For the Stars, the celebrated Hollywood fashion house with a pedigree of creating wardrobe for top performing artists, models and celebrities throughout the world.
With this new partnership, Rosalind came full circle, combining high-end fashion with photography, giving her clients access to an archive of avant garde, celebrity wardrobe for their own one-of-a-kind portraits.
Today, Rosalind operates a full-service photography studio in West Hollywood where she serves a range of clientele who appreciate fine art portraiture.
She represented her adopted country as a member of Team USA at World Photographic Cup 2021 and is currently representing Canada at World Photographic Cup 2024. She teaches masterclasses in portrait photography and advanced Photoshop.

I love to create dramatic portraits that transport the viewer from the literal to a hyper-realistic and stylized fantasy world. Educating others is an exciting part I love to bring to the photography community.
