There is one word that describes the photographic work of suziqb on Flickr; AMAZING. Her real name is Susan and she is a self proclaimed novice, although to look at the work that she has accomplished would render that description well short of what the purveyor of her images might perceive about her skills and abilities. She is a PhotoCapM Flickrite in the Spotlight.
Susan is a wife, mother and the grandmother of two “wonderful granddaughters”. She has lived most of her life in Northern California after moving there from Nova Scotia, Canada. She has always loved making photographs, but rarely had the time as she raised her children.
After her children were grown one Christmas her husband gave her a Canon Rebel. With that she began pursuing her desire to make photographs. She says, “That really got me started in earnest.”
Susan is driven to be a better photographer through the emotion she hopes to convey with every photo. The photographers around her on Flickr are a great inspiration to her as she looks to emulate what they have done, so that her craft might be improved. She told me that there are still so many techniques that she is looking to learn both in the shooting of and post processing of photographs.
Her favorite style of photography to view are the images that come from images of street people in black and white. Susan’s skill set based on her photography seems to be High Dynamic Range (HDR) and she claims macro shots as her best ability. Based on one of the photos that accompanies this article, I think we all would agree with her and say that she has mastered macro.
Susan was kind enough to share with me some advice for those looking to pursue photography for themselves. This is what she had to say.
“My advice to anyone that wants to pursue photography, is shoot, shoot, shoot. Take a camera with you all the time, take pictures of everything and anything. Be daring, try different angles. Look at other people pictures for ideas and try it. Ask questions!!”
Susan (suziqb) is PhotoCapM’s Flickrite, because of her desire to learn and then share with others the wonderful images that she has created. To look at her photostream on Flickr is to see someone who has emerged as a leader with a natural skill and ability who has worked very hard to improve her craft. Please visit Susan’s photostream by clicking on Flickr user name at the top of this article and find out for yourself what happens when a person becomes driven “in earnest” to be and do the best that they absolutely can.
Until next time…
