She's lived in California, London, Orlando, upstate New York, next door to a chicken pen in Harlem, Brooklyn and a New York City hotel room when her NY apartment was set on fire like a baked Alaskan flambé. Susan began her career learning from master photographer Mary Ellen Mark. Her coolest encounter while at her studio was meeting Lou Reed and being offered a cigarette. Aside from assisting many photographers in NY, she has worked as a photo editor, photographed for film productions and various print/online media, occasionally producing, spent years as an advertising executive and perfecting the art of couch surfing (post-fire). She is also a digital tech (Capture One certified), and would love to shoot and edit more video projects.
