Suzanne Szasz (October 20, 1915 – July 3, 1997) was a Hungarian-born American photographer of children and family life.

Biography

Born Suzanne Szekely in 1915 in Budapest, daughter of Joseph (a doctor) and Maria (Baron) Szekely, at thirty-one Szasz moved to the United States in 1946.[1]

In 1947 she divorced her first husband Sandor Szasz, a diplomat, and working in New York that year as a counsellor at a children's summer camp Szasz began photographing with a borrowed camera.[2] Encouraged by winning a cover competition for the Ladies' Home Journal, she became a freelance photographer,[3] selling pictures to Life, Look, Parents, Good Housekeeping,[3] McCall's and Family Circle. An example of her work of this period, rare because it was specially commissioned instead of being 'on spec', is a story she made, with minimum equipment and mostly available light, over the course of eight months in 1952 for Women’s Home Companion magazine; photographs in the children’s polio ward of New York’s Willard Parker Hospital. The series centres on 6 year old Eileen Dicheck.[4] Interviewed for a Photography magazine article[5] covering her approach to the story, she says:

"I photograph best when other people are present–where there Is a relationship between the child and other children or adults. Il you put me in a room alone with a child then I can only photograph my relation to the child. But I am interested in the real relationships that chIldren have with the world around them, and not how they act in front of the camera."

From the 1950s she photographed, along with Ray Schorr, at the Pinewoods Camp at Long Pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts for traditional dance and music.[6]

Szasz' arresting low-light 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. She went on to participate in four other international group exhibitions in Europe and held a series of shows in New York.

Through the 1960s and 1970s Szasz produced portraits of artists and musicians including Russell Oberlin, Leonard Bernstein, Roslyn Tureck, Hilaire Hiler, Sylvia Marlowe, and Lee Hoiby, working alongside, or co-credited with, her husband Ray Schorr.[7]

Value to psychology of Szasz' imagery

Child psychologists,[8] including Bruno Bettelheim and doctors at the Gesell Institute of Human Development in New Haven found Szasz's capacity to work with children, and ability to seem to 'disappear' when taking her apparently intimate and candid pictures,[9][10][5] of value to their work and collaborated with her.[1][11][12][11][13] She assisted in another study of women who used the birth control pill in Puerto Rico in 1962.[1] Her work illustrated articles of Margaret Mead,[14] Elizabeth Taleporos, Karl W. Deutsch and others.

Though she was not a parent herself, in the context of the post-war 'baby boom' Szasz's books on, and imagery of, child-rearing proved popular amongst an audience of anxious first-time parents eager for information and affirmation. Dr Benjamin Spock, who wrote introductions to two of her books described her as "...a sensitive student of (children's) feelings...".[15]

Contributions to the profession

Szasz was a founding and active member of the American Society of Magazine Photographers,[16][17] through which she promoted the standing of women in the profession.[18][19] She contributed numbers of texts on technique in photography, particularly on using available light,[20][21] and her speciality, capturing children and their parents in a natural and unobtrusive manner.[22] Other texts demonstrate her ability to 'read' and interpret body language, gesture and other visual clues of emotion.[23]

Personal life

In America, on December 22, 1956, Szasz married Ray Shorr, also a photographer,[24] and they remained together until his death in 1994. There were no children from either of her marriages. Szasz died on July 3, 1997 in her native Budapest whilst visiting her relatives.
