Carol Rosegg is an American theater photographer who began her photography career after meeting renowned theater photographer, Martha Swope. Carol grew up in Prairie Village, Kansas, studied art history and French at Tufts University, and moved to New York City in the mid-1970s. Following her arrival in New York, unemployed and owning a 35 millimeter camera, she photographed a performance by a friend's small Upstate New York acting company. Her photos of Maureen Stapleton were published. Carol began assisting Martha Swope. It was the heyday of theatre - Dreamgirls, Annie, Ain’t Misbehavin’, and A Chorus Line, as well as dance companies, including American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and Martha Graham. In 1994, Carol moved to share a studio space with her friend and colleague, fellow theater photographer, Joan Marcus.

Carol continues to live in New York City with Arnold Engelman, theatre presenter and producer,  and her cat. Happily for Carol, her two grown daughters live nearby.
