Episode 12: Camilla Greenwell

Camilla Greenwell is a London-based dance photographer. She has worked with numerous high-profile dancers, companies, and venues, including the Barbican, Sadler’s Wells, Candoco Dance Company, and Rambert, to name a few, for who she creates unique imagery informed by her interest in people and the stories they tell. Outside of dance, Camilla has also photographed for publications such as The Guardian, The Telegraph Magazine, FT Weekend, and Toast, using her editorial work to inform her performance photography and visa versa. Most recently, Camilla put together a digital exhibition with Sadler’s Wells titled Movement in Still Form. I couldn’t wait to talk to her about the collaborative process when working with leading dance companies and institutions, how she aims to give the impression of motion in static photographs, and whether dance photography should be viewed as an artistic medium in its own right rather than just for documentation and promotional purposes.
