Jill Greenberg

Uploaded by coolhunting on Feb 20, 2008
Jill Greenberg was tagged The Manipulator in the early '90s when she became known for transforming photos into surreal portraits by tweaking colors, cutting and pasting and otherwise distorting images. The work she created at the beginning of her career took advantage of Photoshop before it was a household name and became iconic of the collaged, multi-colored look of the time, forming the groundwork for the hyper-real work that's now her trademark.
In this video we take a look at Jill's portrait series of children crying called "End Times," visit her at her 2006 Clamp Art exhibit "Monkey Portraits" in NYC and see her at work shooting bears in Canada. We also go to Jill's Los Angeles studio to get a taste of her Photoshop artistry in action.

I've alway been intrigued by the lighting/effects of Jill's photographs.
Any fans/ photographers wanna share any tips on how to achieve this...add me on FB.

@anglocowboy - She is very much a photographer. The art of creating photographic images has ALWAYS involved post-processing. Today it's just done on a computer instead of in a darkroom.
You really should learn what you're talking about before pretending like you know about photos and what is or isn't photography.
That being said... imnsho she isn't a great photographer. Just a Hollywood hype effects monster **yawn**

Not a photographer. More of an electronic artist...

I am a huge fan of her work. I love that she found a look and stuck with it. Nice work.

I think the crying pictures were not meant to make a controversy and be different, she just wanted to make pictures that people will look at. Not all beautiful photography is flowers. It's all about making people look twice at a photo.

She is an artist and did what she wanted to do with the photos of McCain. I Think they were great and everyone is being waaaaay too sensitive about it. The political ads that John McCain is running against Obama are much worse than these photos.
