In 2006 she was awarded the "Women International Prize in Photography" and shortlisted for the “Association of Photographers Open", whilst in 2007, her series Afterdark was awarded First Prize in Fine Art Landscapes at the International Photography Awards (IPA).

Her work was commissioned and showcased as part of the “One Gallery, One Night: Emerging Women in Photography” exhibition, sponsored by Kodak.[6]
She is a founding member of the group 24, which exhibited work in unlikely places, such as Soho and Trafalgar Square.[7]
In 2020 her work “correspondence" has been shown in Iran at the Hasht Cheshmeh Art Space of Kashan.
De Rosa's research is now focused on the representation of memory and truth and on the documentary and narrative aspects of photography. The artist often proceeds by doing research, aimed at reconstructing the story of unknown people met by chance. To do this he retrieves objects in the markets, speaks with possible witnesses still alive, takes photographs in the key places of the narration. After patiently collecting all the clues and traces, De Rosa builds photographic shots of what happened.
She currently lives between Naples and London, where she works as a freelance photographer.
