About Suza

SUZA SCALORA

BEAUTY PHOTOGRAPHER & MYTHMAKER

Suza Scalora, a graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, has received wide recognition in the last 12 years for creating photographic images that captivate all that is immaculate, colorful, and magical. Her beauty work is the culmination of sharp attention to detail, precise lighting, and a strong yet refreshing visual sense. Named one of the best up and coming beauty photographers of 2006 by Women’s Wear Daily and selected to join the ranks of 12 artistic legends (including Patrick Demarchalier, Joyce Tenneson, and Howard Schatz) as a “Hasselblad Master”, Suza’s imagery has ultimately led to collaborations with Prescriptives, Origins, Benefit Cosmetics, Avon Global, Disney, Conde Nast Publications, Hearst Publications, and Fairchild Publications.

In addition to her advertising and editorial work, Suza has successfully projected her unique vision onto a completely different genre of imagery as photographer and author of a series of ethereal fairy tale books. The first, “The Fairies: Photographic Evidence Of Another World” (HarperCollins Publishing), was named by Newsweek as one of the 10 best picture books in 2000. Saks Fifth Avenue NYC showcased characters from” The Fairies” in their spectacular Millennium Fifth Avenue windows. Suza's second book, "The Witches and Wizards Of Oberin” continued her journey into the unseen world. Suza has been profiled in some of the industry’s leading publications including: PDN, Communication Arts, Elle, Jane, GQ, and American Photo. Most recently, Suza's latest book “The Evidence Of Angels” was published in 2009.

Scalora is a modern day mythmaker. Her work speaks to the alliance between nature, man, and myth. The underlying message is there is more to life than meets the eye and that we must open ourselves to the magic that surrounds us everyday. Suza has taught at the International Center for Photography in NYC and the Omega Center. She lives in NYC.
