Jill Greenberg Dropped by Photo Agency

By Jeffrey Goldberg
Sep 16 2008, 1:05 PM ET Comment

The Vaughan Hannigan photo agency, which has represented the disgraced, excrement-obsessed photoshopper Jill Greenberg, has just dropped her from its client list. Bill Hannigan, who runs the agency, told me a few minutes ago that Greenberg and the agency had "different views on how to conduct business." He said he couldn't say anything more because he is "still sorting out some issues with Jill related to her contract."

Vaughan Hannigan has done the right thing, of course, and not only because it's best not to represent photographers who deceive their clients, but because the damage Greenberg has done to her fellow photographers is tremendous. For a discussion of that, please see Joerg Colberg's astute blog. The only good thing to come out of this ridiculous situation is that I've been introduced to several very interesting photography websites. There's a bright side to everything, I say.
