About Suzanne Opton

My work will be exhibited at Sikkema Jenkins gallery in Chelsea May-June 2014 The book \"Soldier / Many Wars,\" was published by Decode Books, 2011. It is included in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger\'s \"The Photobook: A History,\" Volume 3. This is the culmination of a six year project in which I photographed and interviewed active duty soldiers, veterans from wars as far back as WWII, and also Iraqi citizens who fled their homes after the US-led invasion. The Many Wars exhibition was at the Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, VA, Sept - Dec 2012. The \"Soldier\" billboards were presented in nine cities 20••••10. They can be viewed and commented on at In the works is a new project about medical tourism in India. My background is in fine art, editorial and corporate portraiture. I am on the faculty of ICP and consult privately with photographers working on personal projects.
