Susan Burnstine

Susan Burnstine is an American fine art photographer and journalist, originally from Chicago and now based in Los Angeles. She is best known for haunting, ethereal images that illustrate her dreams. She began making photographs as a way of facing and working through nightmares and night terrors that have haunted her since childhood. She is also known for making her own cameras and lenses, initially from ruins of toy camera bodies, and now 100% homemade with additions from found objects and assorted other materials that best represent her vision of her dreams. Burnstine has written for many notable photography publications, including a monthly column for B&W Magazine UK.
