Photographer of the Stars: Fabian Suarez

ARTIST BIO:

I’m Fabian Suarez. I’m a photographer and have been taking pictures since 2010. I had a severe accident in 2015 but as soon as I could I got back on the photography horse. I’ve had work published and I got cover of an online magazine after my accident. I love documenting moments in history and meeting people. I’ve shot both film and digital and can’t tell you which I prefer. I personally don’t see myself willingly stopping my photography.

ARTIST Q&A:

When did you first realize you wanted to be a photographer?

FS: I first realized in my senior year of high school, 2010.

How long does a photoshoot normally take?

What is your work schedule like when photographing a subject?

FS: It depends on the subject. It could be sunrise, sunset, golden hour it just depends.

Where do you get your ideas or information for your photoshoots?
