Profile

Vermont resident Susan R. Wacker honed her creative skills and photographic eye in the New York design scene. Upon graduating from Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts / Communication Graphic Design, Ms. Wacker pursued a successful career as a proffessional Art Director for the fashion and beauty industry. She is known best for the creation of award winning fragrance packaging for celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor and fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Nino Cerrutti, Jean-Louis Scherrer, Valentino, and the House of Fendi.

Her images bring together together a strong graphic esthetic, an eye for detail and lighting, always in pursuit of all things beautiful.

"Photography is my personal expression and creative outlet. No design briefs, no client demands, these are images that reflect how I see the world and how I want to convey the moment. My approach is the same as if I were to create a painting. Composition and lighting are the foundation and framework for each image. I compose in the viewfinder using very little cropping, if any, for the final print. Retouching is kept to a minimum. I strive for high quality high-res files that require little manipulation.

My aim is create images that you can walk into to experience that captured moment in time."
