Fetish Scene Profile: Photographer Suze Randall

Infamous erotic photographer Suze Randall was a London fashion model who attracted a lot of press attention in the early 1970’s when she began shooting naughty pin-up pictures of her model girlfriends.

Intrigued by the story of model-turned-photographer, in 1975 Playboy’s Hugh Hefner flew her out to the USA for a behind-the-lens assignment in Los Angeles. Suze photographed the 1975 Playmate-of-the-Year Lillian Muller and subsequently stayed on as a Playboy staff photographer. In 1977 she was snatched away from Hef by Larry Flynt but after two years at Hustler (Suze claims “It was like boot camp!”) she began shooting freelance for magazines like Bob Guccione’s Penthouse where she is now a regular contributor.

With the porno chic boom of the late ’70’s, Suze began directing a series of high-quality hardcore movies and videos. Among these were the popular video line Suze Centerfolds and a series of 35mm theatrical releases including Stud Hunters and Too Naughty To Say No.

Suze’s photos are syndicated in magazines worldwide. She shot the prestigious British Lamb’s Navy Rum Calendar and has done album covers for recording artists as different as Peter Hook (New Order) and Robert Palmer. She shot a music video for Capital Records and videos for Penthouse as well as a video for Digital Underground which was considered too nasty for prime time.

Suze Randall is by far the most popular erotic photographer on the Internet. Suze.net is a vast library of her work which already features over 50,000 of her images and is growing every day. Her site won the “Best Photography” Website at the Adult Video News Awards in Las Vegas in January 2000. Suze-Centerfolds.com is a tribute to the 400 adult stars who have been photographed by Suze.
