Jill Greenberg


Jill Greenberg Moves from Apes to Ursine on The Underwire: "Master photo manipulator Jill Greenberg, who shot Martha Stewart for Wired's How To package and gave tips on how to take amazing portraits, is gearing up for a new show opening tomorrow. Ursine, premiering at New York's Clamp Art, is a series of portraits of bears -- from grizzly to polar. Unofficially this is part two of Jill's beautiful take on animals. Her first look was with monkeys and apes."

Cool Hunting: Jill Greenberg: "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"
