Life and work
Suau was born in Peoria, Illinois. He worked for the Chicago Sun-Times, and The Denver Post, and was a contract photographer for Time from 1991 to 2009.
Suau has published a number of books, including Beyond the Fall, a 10-year photography project portraying the transition of the Eastern bloc starting from the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Fear This, about the war of images and slogans being played out in the USA whilst the country was at war in Iraq.
His work has appeared in National Geographic, Paris Match, Stern, The New York Times Magazine, The Sunday Times Magazine, Life, and elsewhere.
In 2009 he co-founded the non-profit collective "Facing Change: Documenting America", with a group of social minded photographers and writers to document the issues facing the United States during a time of economic uncertainty. As the project president he was able to negotiate and sign agreements with the Library of Congress, Leica Camera, National Geographic, GEO, Le Monde, Open Society Foundations and PhotoShelter. He resigned from the organization in June 2013, 6 months after a negligent board of directors took control of the company's management.
He is directing his first feature documentary film, Organic Rising, a look at the rise of the organic farming industry across the United States.
