Her work appears regularly in The New York Times Magazine, Sunday Times Magazine, Time, Newsweek and Fortune, and is in many museum collections including the Getty , the Los Angeles County Museum, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Greenfield directed and produced her first feature-length film, THIN (HBO, 2006), about the treatment of eating disorders.
