Whether you love or hate her photos, there is no denying that photographer Jill Greenberg has created some of the most recognizable photos within the last decade. Her lighting style has become such part of photography that when people see another photographer’s photo that is lit the same way, they call it the “Jill Greenberg look.”

End of Time Baby by Jill Greenberg

Although this look is considered her “signature look,” Jill constantly experiments with her lighting, photography, and creative process. In this two part interview by LAImyours.com, Jill takes us to her roots growing up and attending art schools like the Rhode Island School of Design and Parsons Paris School of Art and Design, as well as how she developed her lighting technique for the End Times series and beyond.

What’s great about this interview is that it’s not about the gear that Jill uses, but the creative process and the artistic outlet of photography. To me, the most important thing about photography is the story that the image convey, followed by lighting.

It’s a fascinating read behind one of our prolific photographers today, so be sure to read the two part-interview by LAImyours.com.
