Biography
Susanne Atkin MA, LRPS
I originaly graduated with a degree in the History of Art (University of East Anglia). After university I worked as an archaeological finds researcher and then as a professional freelance indexer.
I have recently graduated with an MA in Photography at University College Falmouth in Cornwall. A serious interest in photography developed after buying a digital SLR for capturing re-enactments by the Fairfax Battalia of the English Civil War Society and the Tudor Group: an interest in history intertwined with a fascination for shadow and light. I photograph major re-enactment events staged by EventPlan and English Heritage and others, and also local events in my home county of Worcestershire, and in Cornwall, such as Mazey Day in Penzance and Truro City of Lights.
I mainly use a digital camera, and occasionally a monochrome film camera. The majority of the photos on this website have not been altered or manipulated on a computer. As I often shoot in low light, adjustments have to be made to digital images, but mainly I prefer to use natural light and shadows, and 'tricks of the light' to produce images to suggest the uncanny and the odd; stories come from the images, and some will be included on this website, or you can make up your own.
