Born in 1967, in Montreal, the American and Canadian photographer, Jill Greenberg, is an internationally known artist and photographer whose work is instantly recognisable. This is due to her unique style and mastery of studio lighting. Her background in illustration and painting is very evident in her work and photography. She specialises in portraits that grab the audience's attention and tug at their emotion with some of the strong messages she conveys.
Since the young age of 10, Greenberg has staged photographs and created characters using the mediums of drawing, painting, sculpture, film and photography. Jill uses the light in her photographs to her advantage. She controls the lighting as it is in a studio which helps make a more aesthetically pleasing image; this captivates the audience. |
