Jill Enfield is a superb fine arts, editorial, and commercial photographer best known for her hand coloring work on prints created with infrared film. Her art frequently depicts interiors and architectural details, not people. Nevertheless her scenes evoke the sense that someone may have just left the scene or is about to enter.
Jill Enfield’s pictures make you stop, look carefully. Search for layers. While every photographer wants to create his or her own style, Enfield has succeeded with imagery that seems uniquely hers.
Commercial clients see it: Jill includes Kodak, Hasselblad, Nikon, Penguin Putnam, Inc., LIFE, Vassarette Lingerie, National Geographic, and The New York Times Magazine among her many customers.
Dealers have responded equally well. Jill’s work can be viewed at noted dealers and galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Diego and Paris. She has exhibited in one-woman and group shows throughout the U.S. and South America
Jill is also an artist’s artist in that she shares her view of the world through teaching at some of the most prestigious photography centers in the United States: New York's ICP, the Parsons School of Design, the Palm Beach Photographic Workshop, American PHOTO Mentor Series, the Santa Fe Photographic Workshop, and the Toscana Photographic Workshop.
Jill has contributed to several books on hand painting and infrared film and has an upcoming book of her own: “Photo Imaging: A Complete Visual Guide to Alternative Techniques and Processes.” It’s due out in August, 2002, from Amphoto, a division of Watson Guptill.
