Lauren Greenfield is a photographer and filmmaker. A lot of her work centers around a theme of women and girls and their place in America's now commercial-centered society. In one body of work, called 'Thin', she visited a facility for women with eating disorders and photographed as well as filmed their experiences and struggles. In another series, Kids and Money, she visited children, mostly female, in Los Angeles and photographed and filmed their relationships with money. Lastly, in 'Girl Culture' she visited a variety of women, from 14 year old girls to exotic dancers and documented them as well. The results are very powerful films and photographs that reveal American Culture's effects on different people. I know that we looked at this artist in Georgi's class, but I think that it would be beneficial for Chloe to see as well, considering her final project this semester.
