Blair Bodden submits Susan Seubert



Libby directed me to this artist

Susan Seubert received her BFA in Photography from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 1992.

Susan is known for her fine art photography as well as her photo journalism. She has completed work for National Geographic Traveler and The New York Times. She is skilled with the techniques in silver gelatin, platinum, and tintype. The photo shown above form a collection called Nest, which, is a series of 25 images of wild bird nests. This series was an investigation of natural architecture and is done in wet plate collodion. Her use of tintypes in her work is what peaked my interest. It is the way it takes the image from black and white or color and make it something more. It puts it in a different era and sense of being for the audience.
