Photographer of the Month - Gary Susson

The photographer I am studying this month is none other than the amazing talent which is Gary Susson I have been wanting to study his work properly since I went to his museum in New York City, which I went to back in 2012. If anyone is ever in NYC, I feel this museum (as well as obviously, the 9/11 memorial at ground zero) is one of the most important as it's the images from the aftermath in which he was the only photographer allowed there he caught so many moving images, in which he discusses via audio at his museum. Many people say it is emotional as there are moving stories behind the FDNY and the families of the people that died however, you don't get a real sense of 9/11 without this museum as there are pieces at the museum, that were recovered from the scenes. Photo's with stories. With over 100 exhibits in one room.

Please watch this video and you get a sense of the imagery used...


The look of hope in the workers eyes, them carrying out people they may or may not know, loved ones, animals, the amount of trauma these workers went through yet carried on to not let families suffer no longer. 

This is an interview he did where he discusses his images.
