Susan Schmitz is a Phoenix, Arizona based digital artist that specializes in photography and videography designed for the marketing needs of the animal and travel industries. Her work can be seen in publications and on products around the globe. Over the years, Susan has developed two separate bodies of work that portray her passions and compassion in unique ways.  Her domestic animal photo library features fun, whimsical, and conceptual images of thousands of different pets. Most of the animal models used in her work were photographed through her Good-Focused Photo Program which was developed as a way to help animal welfare organizations to find fur-ever homes for pets by providing them with high-impact photos that give adoption ads greater visibility. Her wildlife and travel photography library features both documentary style and creatively composited images and video that are representative of her wanderlust spirit, awe of nature, and devotion towards animals of all kinds. A portion of proceeds of sales through this body of work are donated to various wildlife and nature conservation organizations worldwide through her Good-Focused Donation Program. Susan is also a partner and travel host at Adventure Artists International. AAI’s mission is to curate life-changing adventure opportunities that inspire positive global impact through creativity, connection, and conservation.
