Bio: Susanna is a photographer specializing in fashion photography, as well as portraiture. She began shooting in her teens when she started going to shows and cavorting with what she considered unusual suspects. In her portraits she captures the key elements and depth of her subjects, allowing anyone to relate without knowing the person. While, in her fashion photos, she finds the voice for her clients, finding a juxtaposition where nature and texture meet. Susanna recently found that she really enjoys collaborations, taking photos that show her perspective on someone else’s art and projecting her idea of what the characters may be feeling and living.
We asked Susanna to share a few of her favorite photos.
“The series below is relevant to me because lately I have felt so fortunate with where I am and what I have been able to do in my life. I enjoy day to day life and what is happening right now, not just what you can make happen in an image. Capturing the light and the different angles is one of my favorite things, along getting to savor the beauty that just is. Not to mention, I love to travel. These photos were taken in an airplane over the sea (Hawaii), Portland, OR and Reno, NV.”
