McCain’s team did not pick her as the photographer. The Atlantic wanted him on the cover and provided the photographer. From looking at her online portfolio, I doubt there would have been any reason to believe that she would act in any way other than professional.

This isn’t really the way that photography and model releases work. However it would be fair to demand that a release contain a clause that doesn’t allow any use that purposely casts the subject in a negative light.

I am also a professional photographer. I experienced something similar when covering an event with Howard Dean and the WI governor. I’ve also received queries about shooting same-sex ceremonies, then pointed them to my full portfolio (which includes lots of church-related images).. a few just called me names and looked elsewhere.
If you look at her portfolio, this won’t cost her work. It will only make people like Matt Damon even more excited to hire her. Her creds in Hollywood and among the wacko left will only be heightened.
However I’d bet somewhere someone will refuse to let her shoot them. The Atlantic hired her for this one, not McCain’s team.

Here are the images... first The Atlantic cover:
Next the "monster lighting" shot:
Finally images she has placed on her web site:
There was another one that I missed grabbing showing a monkey urinating and defecating on McCain's head. Maybe someone else out there got it before she took it down.
The bias shown by photographer Jill Greenberg is absolutely unprofessional... and the crass manipulation of her images of John McCain... despicable!
There's another article commenting on the first with even more info.. http://photobusinessforum.blogspot.com/2008/09/jill-greenberg-open-mouth-insert-foot.html
Note the comments below links to images that are currently on the front page of her web site..
I was around the UW campus during move in week and overheard a couple of those "register to vote" people telling students to do just that... vote absentee at home and vote here in person.
