As you browse through our galleries, we hope you'll enjoy Susan's photography as much as we do.  You'll find art in these photos -- art captured  in extraordinary moments of light and time as seen in the details of nature and the broader natural environment.   Most of these photos were made using film and printed using conventional wet chemistry photo processing systems.   Her newer photographs, however, have been taken using a digital camera.   These digital images too have been minimally processed so that what you see in all of her photographs -- film and digital -- is exactly what Susan saw through her camera's lens.

About the photographer...
 
Susan Roberts first became interested in photography as a hobby nearly 30 years ago, but soon found her photos illustrating magazine articles and books about boating.
 
She moved to South Carolina in 1996 after spending six years on a 36-foot sailboat cruising up and down the U.S. East Coast from Maine to Florida, the Bahama Islands and down into the Caribbean, including South and Central America. 
 
After making landfall on Edisto Island, she 
began focusing her camera's lens on the natural and manmade beauty of the Carolina coastal area. While the low country remains the primary focus of her work, she has recently begun broadening  her geographic scope.
 
In the year 2000, Susan began offering her work to the public, first as photo note cards and subsequently as enlargements suitable for framing.  Since that time, her work has come to grace the walls of homes and/or offices in more than 35 states, three provinces of Canada and seven countries in Europe.
 
 

What sets Susan's work apart is her eye for the interplay of color and light, the simplicity of her images, and the aura of tranquility -- or, in some instances, the sense of playfulness -- that emanates from  her photos. 
 
After years of working with 35mm. film and traditional photographic printing systems, Susan has finally been forced by circumstances to begin using a digital camera.   One thing she has vowed will remain the same, however, is the integrity of her photographs.  Although the images must be processed through a computer, they are minimally processed.  In that way, you can look at her photos knowing that you are seeing in her photographs what she saw through her lens. 
 
Enjoy.
