LOIS GREENFIELD
Moving Still
Lois Greenfield, one of the most influential photographers in all time, developed a unique approach to photographing the human form in motion and redefined the genre of dance photography and transcended its limitations. For the last 45 years, Greenfield has explored movement and its expressive potential in dynamic photos of dancers frozen in split seconds of extraordinary motion. Her dynamic development over the years can be seen in her shift to colour photography and from shooting with a film camera to a digital camera.
Lois Greenfield became a legend thanks to her strong contribution to the exploration of the expressive possibilities of photographed movement. Her unique approach to photographing the human form in motion has radically redefined the genre and influenced a generation of photographers and will continue to influence the generations to come.
Lois Greenfield’s work can be found in many international museums and private collections around the globe including The National Museum of Dance, Saratoga Springs, NY, Musee de L’Elysée, Lausanne, Switzerland, The International Center of Photography, NYC and many more.
In 2016 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award by McCallum Theatre Institute, and in 2015, she received the Dance in Focus Award by the Dance Films Association.
