Bagkround
Susan Stanton was introduced to photography by an art instructor and painter over twenty years ago. She was taught the conceptual elements of design -- line, shape, value, color, space, texture and composition -- before ever capturing her first image. Having spent years mastering these concepts, she now approaches each and every photograph with an artist’s eye. Susan refers to herself as a “photo-artist” and to her camera, lenses and tripod as merely tools of her craft.
Susan shoots her subjects in carefully selected lighting conditions to emphasize their natural textures and colors. Her images have been described by Marshall Gordon of Bold Life Magazine as “a wide variety of beautifully composed, hauntingly original nature scenes saturated with deep, textured colors...exposures so painterly, that many of her clients insist that's exactly what they are.”
