Leila Sutton

“Sutton's photos are like windows onto a world where joy still reigns, adventures beckon and innumerable small wonders are still waiting to be ...discovered.”

Hypermodern, crisp and keenly observed, Leila Sutton's images of twenty-first-century life are evocative, intimate, at times wry, and always executed with meticulous technical precision.

From her exuberant lifestyle images to her vivid travel photography, Leila's clear-eyed vision transports you instantly into another realm. Whether she's training her lens on a green gecko lounging on a Hawaiian flower or a child reveling in the unfettered fun of an American summer, Sutton's photos are like windows onto a world where joy still reigns, adventures beckon and innumerable small wonders are still waiting to be discovered. Her images trigger a nostalgia for a simpler, happier time – yet seem to imply that life's pleasures are still abundant and here for the taking.

As she turns a probing yet empathic eye on the world, her images are optimistic but never cloying. Sutton's inherent joie de vivre is tempered by a visual sophistication honed by years of exposure to the arts, including summa cum laude undergraduate studies in art and psychology, postgraduate studies in photography and a four-year stint producing high-end agency shoots, retouching ad campaigns and assisting at the studio of a major New York advertising photographer.

With her extensive digital imaging skills, her solid foundation in studio and location lighting and her established relationships with New York's top stylists and makeup artists, she has the knowledge and the network to turn your creative concepts into persuasive photographic realities.

The world as seen through Sutton's eyes is a place we would all like to inhabit. To harness Leila's vision for your next project, please contact her at leila@leilasutton.com or 914.376.3632. Show more
