About your local photographer

I started my professional life as a sociologist before using photography as a means to communicate the stories I was seeing. I now try to capture the true moments in life from behind the lens.

My lucky break came whilst recovering from a boating accident that left my spine so damaged, doctors feared I may never walk again. Desperate for a solution to the chronic pain, I headed South to the African sun, armed with a Canon Eos 5 and a huge bag of film. The images I captured on a tobacco farm in Zimbabwe during the land invasions of 2000, formed my first exhibition at the Zimbabwe High Commission in London. Tipped as a ‘Shooting Star’ by the British Journal of Photography, I continued to work with international humanitarian organisations such as WaterAid, CARE, and Médecins Sans Frontières. My images bringing awareness to major social issues and gracing the covers of international newspapers and magazines.

In 2009, I bought a crumbling riad in the ancient Marrakech medina and started taking customers off the beaten track to places only a local knows on my bespoke Photo Tours. Now a mother and based in France, I split my time between running Photo Experiences in Morocco and selling my photographs as PhotoArt.

  • Nous avons pris un cours semi-privé à trois de photo balade classique avec Suzanne un samedi matin. Excellente manière de commencer le week-end en photographiant les essentiels de Grenoble avec beaucoup d'astuces et de conseils de la part de Suzanne :)

  • This visit with Suzanne was a fantastic way to explore the street art of Grenoble, with the added bonus of learning some key tips about photography. Suzanne's style was very relaxed, friendly and helpful. I would recommend this visit to others without hesitation.

  • Balade photographique très fructueuse, Suzanne m'a fait mieux connaître Grenoble !
    Je recommande.
    Pour améliorer encore la prestation, ne pas hésiter à donner plus de conseils sur la façon de photographier, en montrant par l'exemple.
    Grand merci, Bernard

  • Très bon moment passé à la découverte du street art grenoblois sous les précieux conseils de Suzanne.
    Dommage que les artistes croisés en chemin n'aient pas été plus ouverts à l'échange.

  • Suzanne et Serge, deux photographes extrêmement disponibles avec de très bons conseils adaptés au niveau de photo de chacun. Cours photo avant les prises de vue enrichissants. Groupe sympa. Week-end très bien organisé. Top

  • Nice walk through some classic sights in Grenoble, but also some places where it is more difficult to normally get to like Garage hélicoïdal de Grenoble. Photo walk included visit to a local artist (painter), so there was also possibility to take photos during her creative process.

  • Bonjour,
    merci pour cette belle promenade. J'ai pu faire des belles photos. Peut-être pas toutes dans le thème.
    Il me semble que 1h30 - 2h ne sont pas assez pour combler 20 mots. Surtout sur un chemin "tracé" (Office du tourisme - Musée - traversé d'Isère - Musée Dauphiné)
    Il y a des mots qui me semble "trop vague" : Gant ... Tram .. vélo.
    Certains mots demandent du temps pour le prendre (Mouvement).
    Dans tout le cas c'était un après-midi très agréable - mais très froid. ?
    Merci

  • Avec mes filles, nous avons fait la balade photo dans Grenoble... une sorte de chasse "aux photos et aux oeufs pendant Paques"... Un super moment pour mes filles et une redecouverte finalement de Grenoble pour tous à observer Grenoble d'une façon différente !

  • J'ai beaucoup aimé cette balade photographique du street art dans Grenoble. Le groupe était sympathique et constitué de personnes très différentes . Nous avons eu le temps de prendre des photos sous différents angles. Notre guide et photographe Suzanne avait bien préparé ses interventions en anglais et en français... Le goûter qui finissait cette grande balade nous a permis encore des échanges avec d'autres personnes du groupe... En bref, une très belle après-midi!! Merci Suzanne

  • SP and her team at clik-trip photo provide an excellent photo experience. SP lived in Marrakech for several years and knows the city inside & out. She takes you to all the back ally ways/ beautiful archways/ provides great feedback and helps w/your photography ensuring you get the photos you want. SP is friendly & very professional. Well worth the price to see and photograph Marrakech with someone who really knows what she is doing. Highly recommend SP or anyone that works with her.

  • A highlight of my journey throughout Morocco were the two days I spent with SP in Marrakesh. She is a gifted photographer, an inspirational instructor, and an incredibly knowledgable tour guide. I was even sent back to my hotel with a homework assignment. In addition to guiding me on the roads less traveled by tourists, she also introduced me to many locals who were more then happy to have their portraits taken. We spent quite some time standing at one of the entrances into the medina where I was able to photograph a variety of Moroccans from different walks of life as they entered or exited the city. We also spent time in a tannery capturing the scene as well as the different workmen. As we wondered through the medina and souk we often had to fight our way around the donkeys, carts, motorbikes and vehicles. One must keep one’s eyes wide open not only to capture all the special moments, but to live to tell about it. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with SP and hope to meet up with her in another part of the world.

  • I really enjoyed the afternoon.
    I discovered the street art. I did’nt know how Grenoble was so rich with these paintings.
    Suzan with her kindless and her professional approach was a great guide.
    And the little « goûter » was a very nice moment.
    Thanks Suzan for this very pleasant afternoon.
