PETER SUSCHITZKY

Born in London to an Austrian photographer and cinematographer and a Hungarian mother, my father’s darkroom was in my life from the beginning. And I learned how to process film and print the results from the age of six when simple camera was put into my hands.
Photography is, I think, far harder that cinematography because photographs have no narrative, actors and sound and music to accompany them. A photograph has to speak on its own and today when there are so many images in our lives it is even harder to produce something memorable, but I have always been obsessed by the image.
I have been working as a director of photography since I was twenty one and have photographed more than fixity movies.
