Gregory Crewdson
Gregory Crewdson a contemporary photographer creating images that is cinema graphic in nature. They depict daily life but with a surreal imagery that is almost in human. His subject matter is based upon daily small town life but the his use of color and lighting gives it a disturbing edge, multiple lighting angles, dimly acid washed colors and human subjects that aren’t imposed on to the image but are almost painted into the scene but are overly real. His photographs are a grand production, he brings in movie lighting crews and takes over small towns to create these perfect shots, the imagery is very controlled and nothing is left to chance. He is well educating with a BFA from Suny Purchase, NY and MFA from Yale and currently teaching at Yale University.
