My name is Susan Bowen. I am a fine art photographer based in New York City, originally from Baltimore.

After experiencing personal loss and the events of September 11, I returned to photography and found my subject in the streets of New York. My work begins with what most people overlook — shadows, textures, reflections, and ordinary objects that hold unexpected visual power.

Each image is carefully shaped through detailed post-production, where color is intensified, texture enhanced, and the everyday transformed into something striking.

My work has been exhibited widely, with two public art commissions, seven additional finalist selections, and early inclusion in Billboard Creative's Los Angeles program. I have been featured on Artist Talk on Art, spoke for American Photographic Artists in 2023, and was showcased in the Pictorial List that same year.

Publications include Light Leaks Magazine, Photo Techniques Magazine, and the book Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity by Michelle Bates. My photographs are held in permanent collections at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Zimmerli Museum, and Middle Tennessee State University.

For more than two decades, I have been documenting the city in many forms. My original website, which includes an extended archive of projects and exhibition history, can still be explored at www.susanbowenphoto.com.
