Garrette Warner Rose is an Atlanta-based cinematographer with over 20 years of experience across multiple formats, specializing in unscripted documentary and nonfiction storytelling. Of Jamaican-American heritage, his perspective informs a body of work rooted in cultural awareness, identity, and the nuance of lived experience.

Rose is a four-time Emmy-nominated cinematographer for Netflix’s Queer Eye, where his work has helped define the show’s visual language and emotional depth. He also served as Director of Photography for Season 7 of CNN’s United Shades of America with Kamau Bell, which received a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series.

Deeply influenced by documentary tradition, Rose approaches cinematography with a reverence for cinematic naturalism—favoring authenticity, restraint, and immersive camera work that places viewers within a scene.
