Rachel Sussman is an American photographer whose work includes images of the earth's "oldest living things".[1][2]
In 2008 New York Magazine cited her work as the "best photography that slipped under the radar."[3] Her "giant photos" of "gnarly trees and scorched weeds and such earthly matter" in a 2008 exhibit were described as looking like "location shots for nightmarish Seussian horror movies. Here, it looks like the Once-ler threw a tantrum on his way from chopping Truffula trees, a scenario inspiring a spot of Schadenfreude in the misanthropic Lorax." [4]
