About me

Gender Female

Occupation Photo Editor
Location Los Angeles, California, United States
Introduction I worked as photo editor for the last 14 years at various editorial magazines such as Vanity Fair, InStyle, GQ, Glamour,Bon Appetit and most recently Los Angeles Magazine. I took a 6 month break after 911, and decided to get a culinary degree from the French Culinary Institute. After completing this program, I moved to LA for Bon Appetit Magazine to do redesign bringing a fresh new approach to food in a modern way. Three years later, I thought it was time to travel to some of the places we were writing about so I quit and did just that. I got lucky when I got back, and got the job as the photo editor Los Angeles Magazine which I recently left to spend some time with my dad who was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. After 6 months of chemotherapy, and now being cancer free, I am going to spend the next year doing things that I love even if its not the smartest thing to do during a semi-recession. Life is short. This blog. I hope you have fun reading some of the things I have featured and also, check out my photography website at sharonsuhphotography.com.
Interests Editorial Photography, reading Bill Cunningham's on the street with hot coffee, cutting out coupons that I never use, shopping online for cool stuff since I hate trying things on and trying to find parking, cooking at home, travelling to Europe, and taking pictures
