Lois Greenfiled was born in 1949.She became a photographer through her ability to capture the human form in motion. Lois Greenfield had a dream in the late 60s, it was to be a photojournalist for National Geographic.Lois Greenfield studied anthropdgy and film making at Brandeis university. After graduating in 1970 she first worked as a freelance photographer in Bosten, photographing for small indendent publications.She covered everything from rock stars to riotst security prisons. She photographed dress rehearsals of dance performances in Boston and when she moved to New York in 1973.In 1980 she finally got her own studio. Lois Greenfield never studied photography. And She says" I learnt photography as i went along".She adds elements and props to her amazing images and explores the metaphoric potental of bodies in flight. Her work has been in many galleries and museums all around the world. Lois Greenfield's photographs are moments in time.She published her first book "Breaking Bounds" by Thamea and Hudsson and chronicle Books. The three photographs above are of ballet dancers.The images are by Lois Greenfield from 2005 and the models are from the New York City Ballet Dancers. They are beautiful,amazing photographs of ballet dancers in movement.I love the work from Lois Greenfield I would say she is one of my favorite photographers.
