Jill Enfield

Jill Enfield Photo By: Joe McNallyA fine art and editorial photographer, Jill has taught handcoloring and non-silver techniques at schools in New York City and throughout the USA and Europe. Her work is in the collections of The Amon Carter Museum, RJ Reynolds Co., Southeast Banking Corp., Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín in Colombia, The Boca Raton Museum of Art and Hotel Parisi in La Jolla, among others. Jill received a faculty development grant from The New School to produce a new body of work using the wet collodion technique. Jill’s work was one of 42 images selected from thousands on file with the city through the HERE IS NEW YORK Archive to commemorate the fifth anniversary of 911. The prints hung along the fence surrounding Ground Zero in Manhattan for a year. Her book Photo-Imaging - A Complete Guide To Alternative Processes won the Golden Light Award for Best Technical Book in 2002. It is now out of print, but Jill is working on an updated version which will be out in early 2010.

From one of Jill's students:

"Jill Enfield is a fantastic master photographer. She has a confidence and ability in the medium that allows a free experimentation throughout the workshop process. Not only did I learn the technical process of the tintype in a step by step procedure but Jill shares several tips that only an experienced photographer would have knowledge of.  As wells as an in depth view of the physical process of the tintype, Jill has a pool of knowledge in photography as a whole that makes it the ideal workshop for photographers / artists alike."
