Jill Greenberg

Jill is both a fine art photographer and a commercial photographer, she love's commercial work as that provides a real showcase to her style and get paid for it which helps pay for bills and helps towards projects. Images above taking portraits of famous actors to capture unusual posers, contrasting to the regular glamorous photo shots they used to.  Greenberg is a well known photographer who likes to add in humour to her works. Jill wanted to photograph comedians such as Sacha Baron and Tom Green's as she thinks that viewers looking at them would remind them of a silly joke they said or movie they seen comedian in, instantly evokes a smile. Jill didn't want her set to be too planned out and come across cheesy as this would be unsuccessful to bring out comedians spontaneity.

To me Jill uses her backdrop to blend with actors skin tones or clothing if finds difficult to match skin tone to make all of her portraits natural, clean and professional enough to satisfy the actors overall portrait.

  These neon lighting images are found in a magazine "sicky" where her subjects were portraying  the title looking back in anger so the subjects all had their own idea of embracing that feature.
