Susa V. is a freelance photographer based in Kerpen, Germany, specializing in black-and-white street and urban photography. Since 2018, she has been capturing authentic human moments, urban contrasts, and architectural rhythms with a unique sensitivity and artistic vision.
Her photographic approach is intuitive and deeply humanistic – self-taught, shaped by continuous learning and workshops, she focuses on emotion, storytelling, and composition. Her long-term project, "Faces of Cities," explores the beauty and diversity of people in metropolitan environments, portraying the soul of each city through faces, gestures, and the poetry of daily life.
Working primarily in monochrome, Susa V. creates visual narratives that blend documentary and artistic photography.
Driven by a deep belief in the power of photography to connect and move people, she continues to explore cities across Europe and the U.S., capturing the invisible beauty of the everyday.
