Suzanne Teresa - Director of Photography
After spending the earlier years of her life in Ontario, Suzanne moved to Vancouver Island, British Columbia at age 14. This move whetted her appetite for photography and she began taking pictures of people she met, friends, and places they'd been. Like a daily visual diary, the photos fuelled her interest in photography and in 2001 she opened her company. The next few years of studying earned Suzanne two Agfa Photography Awards and culminated in a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double minor in Psychology and Liberal Studies.
Focusing on advertising and editorial portraiture Suzanne was influenced by Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindberg, Herb Ritts, & Irving Penn. Her work took her around the globe and in addition, her studio became a creative space for shooting. While pursuing her insatiable love of portraiture, Suzanne moved to Los Angeles in 2012 to expand her business opportunities and to become a part of a larger community of artists. Keeping ties to Canada, she aligned with the David Foster Foundation and during this charity work she reaffirmed her love for photographing musicians and since has had the pleasure of capturing Adam Levine, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Ne-Yo, Andrea Bocelli, Steven Tyler, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Michael Bolton, Earth Wind & Fire, and many more.
