Lois Greenfield (born April 18, 1949) is an American photographer best known for her unique approach to photographing the human form in motion. Born in NYC, she attended Hunter College Elementary School, the Fieldston School, and Brandeis University. She majored in Anthropology and expected to become an ethnographic filmmaker, but instead she became a photojournalist for local Boston newspapers.

Her career path changed in the mid 1970s when she was assigned to shoot a dress rehearsal for a dance concert. She has since specialized in photographing dancers not in performance, but in her photo studio as part of her exploration of the expressive potential of movement. She has created countless classic images for the world's best-known dance companies such as Alvin Ailey, Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane, and American Ballet Theatre.

Since the mid-1990s, Greenfield has been fascinated by non-traditional forms of photographic presentation. Invited to participate in “le Printemps de Cahors" in France in 1994, she projected her images onto a 30-foot high water screen in the Lot River. Set against the night sky, Greenfield's monumental photos seemed to magically appear, then slowly disappear. The propulsion of the water turned her crystal sharp photographs back into flowing moments, making the live experience seem like a product of the imagination.
