Susan Copich is a photographer, actress and model from New York. When not in front of the camera, she finds herself behind it, creating fictitious, dark and domestic scenarios using herself, her daughters and her husband as the actors.
In her series “Domestic Bliss”, Susan has combined metaphor, irony and satire to create a dialogue around the topical subjects of family, parenthood and relationships juxtaposed within the larger context of current societal issues like gun control, suicide, class, and privacy loss.
According to Susan: “Staging each drama to look like a marketing campaign for an ideal life: bright colors, appeasing classic composition, beautiful clothes; the carefully constructed veneer becomes the tool to draw the audience to harsher realities of shadow and denial. The images ask the audience to come closer, laugh nervously or knowingly, acknowledge their own dark reflection, recoil, revisit and then rehash the experience later.”

Absolutely Amazing …..great job!
derivative. it’s all been done before by far more intriguing artists that don’t slap you in the face with the obvious
so what? maybe they were supposed to be just what they are
Her brain be like a box of crayons missing all the pretty colors.
Amazing :)
As a young girl I always wondered why there were so many images of old men grabbing at young women so the image of the mom grabbing at a young (er) man with the children in the background spoke to me. Also the fact that the man’s face is never in the shot speaks volumes.
Didn’t it premise by saying her family and also husband is mentioned twice I believe… her constant hair dyes make her look older . Her husband is grabbing her breasts in the kitchen shot… not much different than you described..
I think the salient point is that one child is pointing a gun at her sibling.
Even rich white people have a dark side
This is what happens when rich housewives have too much spare time …
lovelly!!!!!!!!!
i dont get the 4th one…
I don’t particularly find them funny nor darkly humorous.
I wished she took the effort to light her scenes instead of trying to fix it all in post. That tell-tale halo is off-putting to me.
Where exactly do you see any halo affect… pre or post ? lol
Someone has too much time on her hands.
Those are really good photos. It’s a shame your website doesn’t let me watch them properly.
very funny
who needs attention?
I hate this type of Facial Expressions
Yea I’d probably cry too if I spilled the milk.
Sometimes when your kids spill the milk, the juice, the tee, the spagetti, the… for the whole day you really want to howl like a wolf or cry ;).
Nor sure if I like them or not but creative & interesting 4 sure!
