Suzanne Szasz

[2] Encouraged by winning a cover competition for the Ladies' Home Journal, she became a freelance photographer,[3] selling pictures to Life, Look, Parents, Good Housekeeping,[4] McCall's and Family Circle.

An example of her work of this period, rare because it was specially commissioned instead of being 'on spec', is a story she made, with minimum equipment and mostly available light, over the course of eight months in 1952 for Women's Home Companion magazine; photographs in the children's polio ward of New York's Willard Parker Hospital.

But I am interested in the real relationships that chIldren have with the world around them, and not how they act in front of the camera.From the 1950s she photographed, along with Ray Schorr, at the Pinewoods Camp at Long Pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts, for traditional dance and music.

[7] Szasz' arresting low-light image of a wide-eyed girl in a toy indian headdress was selected by Edward Steichen for the 'Childhood Magic' section of the world-touring The Family of Man show for the Museum of Modern Art, which was seen by 9 million viewers.

Through the 1960s and 1970s Szasz produced portraits of artists and musicians including Russell Oberlin, Leonard Bernstein, Roslyn Tureck, Hilaire Hiler, Sylvia Marlowe, and Lee Hoiby, working alongside, or co-credited with, her husband Ray Schorr.
