Susanne is passionate about creating portraits of individuals who deeply resonate with her, regardless of their background or label. What matters most is the personal connection she shares with them and the mutual willingness to truly connect.

Whether it's an actor or dancer captivating her on stage, a homeless person she encounters on the street, or someone with whom she shares an unexpectedly inspiring conversation, she seeks to capture their essence away from their usual surroundings. Inviting them into her studio allows her to focus solely on the individual, stripping away external distractions.

In her portraits, Susanne strives to capture honesty and vulnerability. She believes that embracing vulnerability not only enhances our humanity but also fosters kindness and empathy in our world. When people reveal their vulnerabilities, it creates a space for others to do the same, fostering deeper connections and understanding.

What truly fascinates Susanne is capturing the dichotomy of opposing qualities within a person simultaneously. It's in these moments of complexity and depth that the true essence of humanity shines through.
