Intro To Photography
Acclaimed photographer Lauren Greenfield is considered a preeminent
chronicler of youth culture as a result of her groundbreaking projects
Girl Culture and Fast Forward. She was named by American Photo as one
of the 25 most influential photographers working today (May/June, 2003).
Her work is in many major collections including the Art Institute of
Chicago, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Museum, the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the International Center of Photography,
the Center for Creative Photography, the Museum of Fine Arts (Houston),
the Smith College Museum of Art, the Harvard University Archive, the
Clinton Library, and the French Ministry of Culture. She is represented
by the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York and the Fahey/Klein Gallery in
Los Angeles. Greenfield’s first feature-length documentary
film, THIN, aired on HBO, and is accompanied by a photography book of
the same name (Chronicle Books, 2006). In this unflinching and incisive
study, Greenfield embarks on an emotional journey through the Renfrew
Center in Coconut Creek, Florida, a residential facility dedicated to
the treatment of eating disorders. The feature-length documentary
premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006 and was nominated for an
Emmy for Outstanding Direction
