Susan May Tell was an award-winning staff photographer for The New York Post, leaving recently to pursue personal projects. A founding member of
Saba Press Photos, Tell's photos have appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek and in major
publications worldwide. For LIFE Magazine she shot The Women Fighters of the EPLF (Eritrean People's
Liberation Front). In Kuwait she had lunch with Yasser Arafat at his invitation. She began her
photojournalistic career in 1983 as a freelance for The New York Times, later working for Saba, based
first in Cairo and then in Paris. The first one-person exhibition of her fine art photography
appeared in San Francisco in 1982 and she has recently, inexorably and irresistibly, been drawn back to photography as fine art.
