Whether it's sharks, wrecks or ballet dancers, with over 10 years' experience in creating underwater visuals Susanne Stemmer catches them all.

"Over the years, we’ve worked for big clients like LVMH, Swarovski and Chanel yet every job is different and has its own requirements. We partnered up with Friendly Fire 3D Concept House a few years ago to add even more impact and fantasy to our underwater sets and environments. We invent underwater lighting and bubble machines, and train our models to do exactly the poses we need. From slightly unpredictable and adventurous underwater shoots in the beginning, we've moved on to totally controlled large productions with a lot of fun and expertise. I simply love my job!"

After many years of shooting commercials, Susanne started her art career four years ago with exhibitions in Paris, New York and Los Angeles. She was invited to show her video installation at the Venice Biennale 2017 - a huge projection installation on the facade of Palazzo Mora.

Always on the move, Susanne lives in Paris and Vienna.

"Kids need stories - and fun!"

"What I love about shooting children: there’s always this big boost of energy, this pristine spirit, this pure wildness... and this little suprise factor that forces you to be flexible. When you're on set, everything built up and ready to shoot, and then the one-year-old decides to pee his pants...“

In the business for 15 years, Susanne Stemmer has been working with kids and grown ups around the globe. Always on the move, Susanne lives in Paris and Vienna.

"More mercurial than Juergen Teller, more cerebral than Mario Testino, hers is a world that few dare to brave! Forget the familiarity of the studio - you’re more likely to find Susanne Stemmer underwater, camera in hand, creating jaw-droppingly awesome fashion photography that most would struggle to produce on dry land.“ Ben Hawkins, Practical Photography, 2015.

Underwater and above, commercial campaigns and exhibitions worldwide, Susanne's next exhibition will be in Paris Photo, Los Angeles, May 2016.
