Amanda Rose Rowan (born January 3, 1979) is an American photographer, filmmaker and actress. She is the daughter of bluegrass musician Peter Rowan and fashion stylist and model Leslie Rowan. She is known for several acting roles in film and television.
Amanda was brought up surrounded by prolific musicians; her godmother is singer Maria Muldaur and her uncles are Chris Rowan and Lorin Rowan of The Rowan Brothers. Born and raised in Northern California, Amanda moved to NYC to attend the TISCH School of the Arts at NYU with a double major in performing arts and photography, graduating Cum Laude in 2001. Amanda has always enjoyed music, singing and songwriting. At age eight, she collaborated with her father Peter Rowan on the lyrics for the song "On the Wings of Horses" (from the Grammy nominated album Dustbowl Children). The song was later recorded by Emmylou Harris on Disney's "Country Music for Kids" album. Throughout her childhood, Amanda toured with her father around the world, often performing with him onstage.
In high school, Amanda was given her first camera. She then discovered her passion for photography, taking pictures at her father's rock concerts and staging photo shoots with friends. She is known for a whimsical style of iconic portrait photography that often lends a heightened sense of reality. These photo shoots have evolved today into an incredible portrait portfolio that includes many celebrity subjects, among them Rufus Wainwright, Inara George, Sean Lennon, Diva Zappa, Amy Smart, Harper Simon Paris Hilton, Jenni Muldaur and the nationally acclaimed water ballet company Aqualillies. In 2004 she founded Rowan Imagery, a New York and Los Angeles based photography company specializing in editorial, portrait and press photography. Her work has been published by New York Magazine for Grub Street, Total Beauty, and by the Beverage Media Group. She is also a contributing photographer for Kimberly Belle's lauded food blog and trendy wedding blog "I Love Farm Weddings".
