After working for years in top adult magazines like Penthouse and Playboy, she now continues her career as a freelance photographer. In recent years her work has included a lot of bondage imagery.
Her breakthrough came when she spotted the pinup model Lillian Müller and photographed her for Playboy. Muller was chosen as Playmate Of The Month in August 1975 and subsequently Playmate Of The Year in 1976. In a 1976 pictorial Randall was both photographer and model. Suze Randall was staff photographer from 1975 until 1977 Playboy ("under the supervision of the magazine's brilliant West Coast editor Marilyn Grabowski"), then from 1977 until 1979 staff photographer for Hustler.

Last but not least, some of the T-Shirt models for bomis.com are photographed by her.
Suze has shot the prestigious British Lamb's Navy Rum calendar, has done album covers for recording artist such as Peter Hook (New Order), and Robert Palmer, as well as a music video for Capitol Records.

Her daughter Holly Randall (born September 5, 1978) is an erotic photographer who also works with her mother.
Quote
- " Larry wouldn't allow any of his photographers to shoot with diffusion, he wanted the viewer to see every pore in the model's skin. That made it a challenge to hide flaws that almost every girl has. I had to learn how to do it with posing and lighting." Suze Randall
