About
Rowan Metzner is an accomplished Conceptual Artist, Commercial Photographer, and Creative Producer with over 20 years of experience. She earned her BFA in Photography from Rhode Island School of Design, where her early work focused on traditional 35mm black and white film, creating abstract portraits that celebrated the human form through a refined use of line, geometry, and movement.
Growing up in New Orleans, surrounded by the vibrant worlds of theater and dance, Rowan developed a unique perspective on the body’s capabilities and its beauty in motion—foundational elements that continue to influence her work today. Whether leading high-volume commercial shoots or working on personal projects, her meticulous attention to detail and passion for storytelling are evident in everything she produces.
Her latest book, Erotic Masters, has been featured in Art Daily, Find Your Pleasure, and Art Net, and her photography resides in prestigious collections including the Smithsonian's American History Museum and the Louisiana State Museum. Alongside her photographic work, Rowan has a deep passion for aerial arts and is the founder and host of Aerial Evolution, an aerial history podcast.
Based in Los Angeles, Rowan continues to push creative boundaries, delivering innovative brand experiences and high-quality visuals that align with her clients' unique visions.
