Susan Papazian
My fascination with photography started when I was 7 years of age, when my parents gifted me my very first plastic camera.
I am drawn to photographing people the most. My ability to connect with people through visual storytelling is a significant part of my work, and my greatest strength as a photographer. I love to show people’s strength, beauty and courage through my images.
I also believe deeply in community and collaboration, and my work has opened doors to support women in the criminal justice system, women in domestic abuse and supporting women globally in their endeavours to create sustainable and profitable businesses. I have also partnered with The Australian Centre of History, UTS, The Paul Ramsay Foundation and the State Library NSW on the Darlinghurst Initiative.
