Susie de Ciutiis

Susie de Ciutiis
I spotted a photographer in Västerhaninge yesterday. We started talking and I decided to ask for a portrait. This is Susie de Ciutiis. She is a licensed tour guide in Stockholm, and a member of the Stockholm Qualified Tourist Guide Association. She lived in Rome for many years, working as a teacher, and while in Italy, she also did some actor's stand in work. When she moved back to Sweden she worked at the Stockholm University, before being head-hunted and offered a job at the Italian embassy in Stockholm. Susie knows a lot about the Viking Era and is also a guide at Runriket. Photography is a recent hobby. She shoots with a Canon 600 and has taken a few classes at Fotografiska.

Very nice portrait. She sounds like quite an interesting and accomplished woman.

I like this one. Her skin tones and hair blend into the stone behind her.

She has had a very interesting career. You must have had an interesting conversation.

Striking portrait. The light is so flat, the color of her face and the wall so similar that she seems to be fading away.

Yes, it is a shame about the portal. Eric set the page up on FB, but if you don't use it ... *shrug* ... never mind.

We all seem to be keeping in touch with our immediate circle by our own methods. That is how the world goes ...
