lois greenfield - commercial dance photographer




hanging from a hangmans noose, been pulled from the ground, corpse like apperance, pulled from his resting place, lifeless, cold, unnatural, looks as if he is frozen in that postion, what caused him to be in that postion? 

"We poured a mixture of sugar and flour down a tube over Sham’s head while he jumped. I wanted him to look as though he himself was being poured and had coalesced into that shape. Sham describes the sensation as “quite soothing, like being bathed in a dry waterfall.”


 nature crading humanity, show its loving arm to an ungrateful species, no matter how much we abuse it, it will still protect us and give us all we need, at peace, content 

"Sham brought with him a section of a 800 pound soft jute sculpture he had made, not knowing I would ask him to jump in it. One reason Sham looks so calm is that I have shot the moment after he has reached the peak of his jump and is on the way down."

"This moment could never be repeated, not even by Danny and Ashley themselves. Like many of my pictures, this is a uniquely photographic event. It only exists for a 500th of a second."
