Artist Statement

ARTIST’S RESUME: Susan Lord Bovey

I photograph for fun and personal enjoyment, and to bring the gems of beauty I see to others.

I studied film photography in the 1970-80’s in my hometown, Carmel, Ca.. I was fortunate to have taken classes from some of the great California photographers of the area, as well as know and work for the print & negative vaults for Weston Gallery and Ansel Adams, among others.

I’ve been active in my local Woodland Camera Forum and Davis Camera Club for years, member of Viewpoint Photographic Gallery, Center for Photographic Arts, and I’m currently on the Board of Directors for the Yolo Arts Council.

A slow holdout to film, I finally entered the digital age fairly recently, and I’m learning Photoshop and Lightroom programs. There is so much to learn, but the possibilities are endless!

Mostly a nature, architectural & abstract shooter, I’m stretching myself out to practice more on model, wedding, and portraiture, as well as storytelling and travel shots. But I have the most fun finding form and beauty in the unexpected places that most people pass on by.
I want to show that there’s beauty and/or eloquence in (almost) everything, and in abstracting the detail from the distracting surroundings, I can bring that experience forward to share with others.

I hope you enjoy my photography, because I want you to see the beauty I see….
