 Biography:  Please report missing Information

1955 Born in London (UK)


Susan Derges studied painting at the Chelsea and Slade Schools of Art in the seventies before turning to photography and in particular, to the cameraless photography for which she has since become internationally celebrated. Throughout her career Derges has been engaged in a constant search to find new ways of making pictures. There is a sense of excitement and experiment in both her methods and her results, drawing on the first forays of the earliest nineteenth century photographers to create images that are at once instantly recognizable and yet not quite what they seem.

Since 1996 she has made much of her work outdoors working along the length of the River Taw near her home in Dartmoor, and more recently, on the River Findhorn in Scotland. These works were made at night, and from the bottom up; by placing photographic paper on the bed of the river and fixing a positive image of the view up through the water by shining a flash gun in the dark with colour and tone provided by the ambient light of moon and stars.
Lives and works in Devon (UK)
