Review: Bear Portraits by Jill Greenberg

Written by

From: bridget3420.blogspot.com

Description (taken from here ): A top celebrity portrait photographer, Jill Greenberg has a unique ability to coax powerful emotions out of her subjects - whether human or animal. Her portraits of bears, collected here for the first time, surprise and engage. We encounter cubs as cute as a child's Teddy, grizzlies that look like they might swallow you whole, and Polar bears seated in Sphinx-like tranquility. Full-grown brown bears, grizzlies, black bears, Polar bears, and bear cubs are photographed on location against a portrait backdrop. The poses and facial expressions are at turns oddly comedic, pensive, terrifying, and sometimes unexpectedly human. Alive with ... Read Full Story

Jill Greenberg ambushes McCain in Atlantic photo shoot

The site of the photographer Jill Greenberg is called The Manipulator - not The Nice Girl or User Friendly. A cursory glance at her Google listings makes clear that her reputation precedes her. Yet when The Atlantic discovered that photos she had taken of John McCain for the magazine's 2008 cover, had been doctored - they were severely put out. Maybe they should have been less naive in the first place. The Atlantic got their cover image of McCain. Greenberg went ahead and manipulated other photos of the Senator from the photo shoot with captions such as "I am a blood thirsty warmonger" and ... Read Full Story

Eye Of The Beholder; McCain and the Greenberg Photos

Written by

Lazlo on

From: lazlosbasement.com The field of politics has been referred to as “the art of the possible,” but what place does art truly hold in politics (or vice versa)? While many artists would say that art should transcend - or at least be divorced from - politics, photographer Jill Greenberg seems to think otherwise. Greenberg, who exhibits her work on her webpage manipulator.com , made a very strong and very public statement about her latest subject, Republican presidential nominee John McCain, through her photography. Greenberg’s work has come under fire since one of her photos served as the cover for the latest issue of ... Read Full Story

Jill Greenberg's Photos of McCain Make Great Art, Terrible Journalism

Written by

JJ on

At the beginning of the news cycle today, Jill Greenberg's name was known mostly by photography enthusiasts envious of her distinct lighting style. Now her name is being cursed by conservatives and journalists alike for her photo shoot with John McCain for the magazine Atlantic. In a brazen display of outright media bias, Greenberg has done everything within her power as a photographer and an artist to make John McCain look as bad as possible. It started with the under-lit horror movie lighting she used on the Republican candidate, but it didn't stop there. She went on to Photoshop his mouth full of razor-sharp ... Read Full Story

Jill Greenberg's End Times

Jill Greenberg's End Times, a series of photographs featuring toddlers, was the subject of controversy in 2006.

The work featured stylized hyper real closeups of children's faces contorted by various emotional distresses. The pieces were titled to reflect Greenberg's frustration with both the Bush administration and Christian Fundamentalism in the United States. The method for getting the children to cry (achieved by offering the children candy and suddenly taking it away) spurred allegations of unethical conduct and provoked the submission of numerous complaints to the art gallery that hosted a public showing of Greenberg's work.
