Lois Greenfield Biography

Lois Greenfield is a photographer known for being able to capture artistic and elusive movements. She specializes in being able to capture the human form in motion and her impressive use of composition. She studied anthropology and filmmaking at Brandeis University which is located in Boston Massachussetts where she graduated from in 1970. Greenfield began working as a freelance photographer with no formal training in photography and simply became more knowledgeable as a photographer through each project that she encountered. Her love for capturing movement began when she was sent to cover a dance concert and began photographing their dress rehearsals. In 1973, Greenfield moved from Boston to New York and as a result, she excelled in her photography skills through capturing the essence of dancers in every aspect of their form of dance. She now works for New York periodicals which include Sports Illustrated, Time, Elle, Vogue, Life, and The New York Times. Greenfield also shoots major contemporary dance companies which are well known throughout the dance world. With Greenfield having no professional training in photography, her love and dedication to her art form has allowed her to become successful photographer.

*Note: she's definitely my inspiration for my senior ex. The way she captures the movement of dancers is incredible! She also knows what props to use for each dancer which always adds more the photo.
