Interning with Lois Greenfield!

This summer I will be interning with world-renowned dance photographer Lois Greenfield. She has been in the field for over 30 years, and is arguably the most famous dance photographer in the world. http://www.loisgreenfield.com/galleries/index.html

After a phone and email inquiry about an internship, she actually emailed me back! (I would have never thought she would have time to respond). Not only that, but she called me on Mother's Day and we chatted for 30 minutes about what I could expect to learn, what I would be doing, and just about photography in general. She was a real sweetheart - which is great, given that I was unsure of what to expect in such a competitive industry, and for working with such a famous photographer.

I begin my internship on Tuesday, June 1, and will be living here in NYC until the end of August.

I guess this just goes to show, You don't know if you don't ask! I figured she would have already booked interns months ago, but I'm glad I called!
