Lois Greenfield: Resonating Fields


©Lois Greenfield
Sham Mosher, 1995

In her exuberant, explosive, and elegant photographs, 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 captures fleeting and impossible moments in a style that is both lyrical and graphic.

Lois Greenfield's unique approach to translating live movements and capturing the human form in motion has radically redefined the genre, reinvented the aesthetics of dance photography and influenced a generation of photographers.

Lois has created signature images for most major contemporary dance companies from Alvin Ailey to American Ballet Theater.  Many of these images can be found in  her best selling monographs “Breaking Bounds” and  “Airborne” (Thames & Hudson) 

"Resonating Fields" brings together a definitive array of her pioneering work and encompasses incomparable images of the precision and power of the human body. For this exhibition, the images are collected into series that together transcend any one fixed single image. Each gallery becomes a resonant field of forms and figures, phrases and rhymes, and themes and configurations forming shifting structures of concept and design.This new presentation of Greenfield's oeuvre brings a fresh perspective and new interpretation to her classic Black and White work
