Distinctive Portfolio

A distinctive photographic vision is the key to success in photography.  The works of Ansel Adams, for instance, are readily obvious, even though the photographs were, for the most part, taken in places where countless thousands of other photographers have also practiced their craft.

Lois Greenfield also has such a distinctive vision.   One of her specialties is dance, a subject that vacation and travel photographers run into from time to time at a festival or street fair. Many are in sharp focus, while others use motion to convey action - one of my personal favorite techniques. Her photography of Sham Mosher, the 1st one in her "Airborne" portfolio, is one of my favorites.  And her entire portfolio is worth a gander for multiple examples of shape and design as key factors in dance and motion photography.  http://www.loisgreenfield.com/galleries/airborne/index.html
