About Sue Kessler

MARRIAGE OF ALL THE ARTS

Sue started young with photography, and continued her education with a Fine Arts degree in photography and design from Skidmore College.

At school Sue built a well-versed technique in both portraiture and live performance photography, where she was the principle photographer for both the Theater and Dance departments. She has cultivated a passion for both photography and the performing arts, with study and work in both fields.

Now a New York-based performance and events photographer, Sue has gained an expertise in balancing the movement in live-action with the dramatic pause of the desired still shots at any event or wedding.

“When I document events—especially weddings—my goal is to deliver images that are innovative, fresh and powerful. I try to find a unique way of marrying the excitement of live performance with the power of the captured image.” --Sue Kessler
