Description from the seller
Suzanne Porter is a photojournalist and visual artist, recognized for her humanitarian work through photography. She has traveled the world, closely engaging with distressed populations, using photography as a powerful means to raise awareness of crucial social issues and the necessary changes through impactful visual storytelling.
After earning a degree in social sciences, Suzanne embarked on a journey armed with her camera, until a boat accident severely damaged her spine, leading doctors to fear she might never walk again. It was during her rehabilitation that she picked up a camera for the first time and enrolled in a photography course. Seeking to escape chronic pain, Suzanne settled in Africa, equipped with a Canon EOS 5 and a large supply of film rolls. One of her first sales was made to actress Kate Winslet, who purchased two of her photos taken on a beach in South Africa. Her first exhibition, featuring photos taken in Zimbabwe in 2000, marked the start of her career. Since then, she has worked with renowned humanitarian organizations such as CARE International, Sightsavers, and Médecins Sans Frontières, and her work has been published in prestigious titles like The Guardian and Condé Nast Traveller.
