"Lauren Greenfield was named one of the top 10 directors in Adweek's Most Creative 100 People of 2015 and earlier this month she won an Emmy Award for Best TV Commercial for #likeagirl, which went viral and completely changed the meaning of ‘like a girl.'

She is a powerful example for the PhotoPlus audience and a must-see at this year's show. "In addition," Ms. Wendle continued, "Dennis Keeley, along with a panel of experts will explore the evolution of street photography as it has emerged through social media to address the ‘global street' during the keynote presentation on Friday."</p>

<p><em><u>Fast Forward to the American Dream</u> – Lauren Greenfield</em></p>
<p>Set against the backdrop of the financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath, award-winning documentary photographer <strong>Lauren Greenfield</strong> will share her latest work, <strong>WEALTH: The Influence of Affluence</strong>, a 25-year examination of how the ideas of wealth and the American Dream have been productized, exported, and manifested around the globe.</p>
<p>Long considered a preeminent chronicler of youth culture, gender and consumerism, Greenfield is the author of three best-selling monographs (Fast Forward, Girl Culture and THIN), an award-winning director of four documentary films (THIN, kids+money, Beauty CULTure, and The Queen of Versailles), and the director of the international viral video #likeagirl, which she recently received and Emmy award for at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>In Fall 2016, Phaidon will publish a major monograph of the work, alongside related exhibitions at the Annenberg Space for Photography in L.A. and the International Center of Photography in New York (including an original 30 minute documentary film).</p>
