TCF Ep. 300 - Lois Greenfield

Published: Nov. 23, 2015, 1:09 p.m.

b'In her exuberant and explosive pictures, Lois Greenfield captures not just the lithe and acrobatic forms of dancers performing their art, but the purity and exhilaration of movement itself. Without tricks or manipulation of any kind, she catches fleeting and impossible moments in a style that is both lyrical and graphic. Greenfield has been compared with Eadweard Muybridge for his exploration of human locomotion and with Henri Cartier-Bresson for capturing the decisive moment. Unlike her predecessors however, her images depict but don\\u2019t refer to the \\u201creal\\u201d world. They are documents of her imagination.\\nBeginning her career as a photojournalist, Greenfield covered the experimental dance movement scene for the Village Voice from 1973 to the mid 90\\u2019s. In 1982 she decided to open her own studio where she could control the lighting, and work with dancers in a collaborative environment.\\nHer exploration of the expressive possibilities of photographed movement and her unique approach to photographing the human form in motion has radically redefined the genre and influenced a generation of photographers.\\nGreenfield has created signature images for countless contemporary dance companies as well as commercial clients. \\xa0Her photographs have been featured in many magazines worldwide and exhibited internationally. She frequently gives lectures and offers workshops. \\nSince 2014 Greenfield has been an Artist in Residence at NYU/Tisch Department of Dance and New Media. In 2015, She was honored with the Dance in Focus award in recognition of her ground-breaking contributions to the field. Her third book, \\u201cLois Greenfield:Moving Still\\u201d, (Thames & Hudson, UK & Chronicle Books, USA) will be released in Fall 2015.\\n\\xa0\\nOrder Lois Greenfield\\u2019s new book, Moving Still via Amazon and help support the show. \\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1452150206?creativeASIN=1452150206&linkCode=w00&linkId=BH7ROEXYRG72PIM4&ref_=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til&tag=thecanfra-20\\n\\xa0\\nResources:\\n\\xa0\\nLois Greenfield\\nhttp://www.loisgreenfield.com\\n\\xa0\\nSebasti\\xe3o Salgado \\nhttp://www.amazonasimages.com\\n\\nDownload the free Candid Frame app for your favorite smart device.\\n\\xa0\\n\\nClick here to download for .\\nClick here to download \\nClick here to download for \\n\\n\\nSupport the work we do at The Candid Frame with your donations via PayPal.\\nhttps://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=iOsiId333PyR4hOlOlN_5SQaE9qenAVlKoay23zkArsdFnWgUextsiUOBWa&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d64ad11bbf4d2a5a1a0d303a50933f9b2'
