Photographer

HER LIFE Born in 1967 in Montreal and grew up in a suburb of Detroit. Graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1989 with a degree in photography. The daughter of an ophthalmologist and a travel agent, she is married to movie producer Robert Green and has two children, Violet, 4, and Zed, 2.

ARTISTIC INFLUENCES Painters Salvador Dali and Francis Bacon.

CLIENTS Philip Morris, Procter and Gamble, Target, Microsoft, Paramount Pictures, HBO, L'Oreal, MTV, Interscope Records, Wired, Time and others.

BIZARRE FAME MOMENT When she saw herself listed on someone's MySpace page under the category "I'd Like to Meet" . . . along with Jim Morrison and Hannibal Lecter. Says Greenberg: "Okay, one of them is dead, one is fictitious, and one is a nice, normal person who lives in L.A. with two little kids!"

ON PHOTOGRAPHY "I've developed a look for my work. . . . Honestly, I think that's what's interesting about photography. It isn't necessarily a document of reality. The photographer imprints their personality on the picture. You only say what you want to say."
