Suzanne Szasz (October 20,1915–July 1997) was a Hungarian-born American photographer of children and family life.
Biography
Born Suzanne Szekely in 1915 in Budapest, she moved to the United States after World War II.[1] While working in New York in 1947 as a counsellor at a children's summer camp she began photographing with a borrowed camera. Encouraged by winning a cover competition for the Ladies' Home Journal, she became a freelance photographer, selling pictures to Life, Look, Parents, Good Housekeeping,[2] McCall's and Family Circle.
Szasz had exhibited in galleries before her arresting 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.
Child psychologists,[3] including Bruno Bettelheim and doctors at the Gesell Institute of Human Development in New Haven found Szasz's capacity to work with children of value to their work and collaborated with her. She assisted in another study of women who used the birth control pill in Puerto Rico in 1962.
Szasz was a founding and active member of the American Society of Magazine Photographers.[4]
Personal life
Szasz was married twice. Her first, to Sandor Szasz, a diplomat, ended in divorce in 1947. She married Ray Shorr, also a photographer, and they remained together until his death in 1994.
