Sue Lezon has worked as a photographer on archaeological expeditions in the Middle East for over thirty years, primarily in Egypt. Living for extended periods of time in profoundly foreign environments while working with the remains of ancient civilizations has strongly influenced her work. She considers her images to contain iconographic clues to the inner life of both ancient and contemporary cultures.
When not traveling, Lezon teaches analog and digital photography at SUNY Plattsburgh. Sue believes in honoring the tradition of B&W silver?based photography, and incorporates digital images into her body of work, as well. Her photographs are a part of private and public collections worldwide.
Sue received her BFA from Emerson College, and her MFA from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
