“Born in 1955 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Susan Wides received her B.A. at Indiana University, whereshe studied with the significantly influential photographer and teacher, Henry Holmes Smith. Artistically emerging during the Reagan years, Wides developed a practice that examined constructed ideas between the notions of fake and real in image making.
By working with a 4 x 5 film camera, and more recently, with a digital SLR, Wides is performing a continual study of New York City. More recently, her expansive, yet refined, technique of manipulating the way light hits the picture plane has been used to giver her photographs a cradled interiority. The viewer is often unsure of where they are standing in relation to the picture plane, perspective is no longer conceived through conventional vanishing points, but through shifting glints of interactive moments. “

“My dad was an artist. He was a brilliant photographer, a painter, an illustrator, and a filmmaker. He documented our family, the famous, and led his own advertising agency. He died when I was three, but his pictures and movies kept me close to him. I picked up a camera to document everyone and everything in my life as a way to keep memory close at hand. I love everything about photography, especially the part that tethers me to my dad.”
“Photography was an integral part of my family life with my father teaching me darkroom techniques and the fundamentals. Sunday night was a family night for slide shows instead of watching “Lassie”.
In college I studied photojournalism. I received a B.A. from Marymount College, Tarrytown, New York, in Studio Art and Art History. I interned at the Cloisters, the Medieval branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as a photo archivist. With that experience I landed a job at Perls Galleries on Madison Avenue where I worked for fifteen years as Associate Director. I handled Picasso, Braque, Modigliani, Leger and Matisse and prepared exhibitions and catalogues for Alexander Calder.
I was included in the “Big Picture” exhibition at P.S.1. My photographs were shown at Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago. I went back to school to study Graphic Design and computer based photography (early Photoshop) at the School of Visual Arts, New York where I studied with Milton Glaser and Paul Davis.
From 1996, in my series “After Neon” I photographed the vanishing world of neon lights in the streets of Manhattan and the boroughs. That series has earned me finalists spots at IPA, Photographers Forum and the The Gallery of Art & Design. I exhibited this work at Soho Photo in Tribeca, Capital One Corporate Gallery, Richmond VA, Artspace, Richmond VA and Kkien Atlier, Milan, Italy.
My next series is taken on the streets of New York and LA for “Not In Your Face”. These images were published on PDN Photo of the Day, Nerve.com and Aline Smithson’s Lenscratch. The book “Not In Your Face”, 64 images in full color will appear this year from the publisher Silas Finch, New York.
I maintain a working studio in Tribeca and live in Manhattan and sail in Hampton Bays.”
