The Manipulator
Photographer  Jill Greenberg has lived in Los Angeles since 2000, although we're guessing that the dazzling lights and saturated colors of the City of Angels have influenced her far longer than that. Bringing a slick, polished view to subjects both commercial and non, she often turns her camera on the fellow residents of her adopted city. The line of celebrities posing for her hyperrealized portraits extends from Alanis Morissette and Lewis Black to Will Smith. In the marvelous "Shiny Faces" series, Larry David submits his gleaming pate and Jay Leno his glossy chin. But we love Greenberg most for her work with the un-famous and the non-human. Her careful camera and vividly reworked prints have captured children, apes, and bears. Great Danes peer directly at the viewer, pigs contentedly gaze off camera, and young babes howl with displeasure. (in Photographers) |
