Sue Anna Joe was born in 1982. While growing up she was always involved with the arts; she liked to draw, write poetry, and was involved in the theater. In 2003, she picked up her first digital camera. She started taking self-portraits and it was during this experimenting stage that she fell in love with photography. She found that photography was the perfect tool for self-expression.

No longer a mere hobby, over the years she has won:
+ International Photography Awards , 2009 (First Place, People: Self-Portrait pro category) + International Photography Awards, 2009 (Honorable Mention, Special Digitally Enhanced pro category) + Filem Festival Malaysia - 21 , 2008 (Best Poster Award) + Vida! Attitude Award , 2004 (Photography)

She opened up a photography & design studio in 2009 called Itudio Studio, but closed it in 2011 as she decided to complete her studies. She has also been featured in magazines, media, made television appearances and gave talks and conducted workshops for photography enthusiasts.

Noryn Aziz in B/W

I had the privilege to shoot the charming and beautiful Malaysian Jazz songbird, Noryn Aziz. Was mesmerized when I first laid eyes on her, face to face she's just drop dead gorgeous I tell ya. Plus the super awesome attitude, she is extremely friendly and down to earth. I had a very enjoyable time during the photoshoot.

A huge thanks to Gjie Aziz for introducing my works to Noryn, and Fynaz Shariff for contacting me to do the shoot. And the best bit is that, now all of us are friends! Weee. To the talented young fashion photographer Bibo Aswan who assisted with the lighting, I'd be quite lost without him because studio lighting isn't really my forte. Also thank you to my dearest husband who tagged along during the shoot. Love ya to bits!

Hope you like these photos. Will post the colored set in another entry. I had to do very little post processing. She's a natural beauty! Last photo is my personal favorite.

Much Love, Sue Anna Joe
