Gregory Crewdson


 He was born in 1962 in New York. where he continues to live and work.
 When he was ten his father, a psychoanalyst, took him to see a Diane Arbus exhibition at MoMA. Her work as well as his seems interesting. The thing i like about his work is that you sometimes have to take a second look at it in order to get everything out of the picture that you might not get if you only looked at it once.

"Gregory Crewdson works within a photographic tradition that combines the documentary style of William Eggleston and Walker Evans with the dream-like vision of filmmakers such as Stephen Spielberg and David Lynch. Crewdson’s method is equally filmic, building elaborate sets to take pictures of extraordinary detail and narrative portent."
