Lois Greenfield is one of the most accomplished dance photographers of the last several decades. On this interview he talks to Josh Haftel from Adobe about her work over many decades.
Greenfield describes how she shoots one frame at a time on her manual camera to create surreal images that actually happened and how she encourages her students to try the same technique to sharpen their skills. She also gives her surprising secret to capturing relaxed faces by shooting the dancer as they descend from a jump and not on their way up.
There is much more interesting stuff on this video, Greenfield talks about several of her famous works and how they were shot (pretty amazing when you think about it) and gives some advice to future dance photographers.
