Gregory Crewdson

Gregory Crewdson is an American photographer and was born in park slope and was at John Dewey high school. Gregory Crewdson's dad was a Psychoanalysts who worked in the basement of his house and I think Crewdson had thoughts about his past and in one of his photographs you can see how his thoughts went in to this photograph. 

 This is a sort of image that I feel was something of Gregory Crewdsons memory. I think his work is just fantastic as his locations as so vast and the using of light is just unbelievable. In most of my shoots I really do have images and influences on my mind and Gregory Crewdson in my eyes is just a fantastic photographer. When researching Gregory Crewdson I come across a short movie of him working and he says that he doesn't see him self as a photographer but a filmographer as he is so based around the lighting and casting rather than the photographer. 

This is another one of his work and I just love the mystery, strangeness a beauty of it as everything is just so staged and the set or location is just so vast I just don't know how its done in terms of lighting, colour and mist. 

    Another great sample of the light and how Gregory Crewdson tries to get a mood and awkwardness to his photographs. 


Not only is this photographer someone i look up to and admire but he is also someone with great talent and goes out of his way to get some of the greatest photographs in the world. As this man and another photographer over the past 2 years has changed my way of thinking and ways of photographic ability i have moved on and become more critical of my work and want to better my self all the time. i feel doing this and pushing my self will make me a better person and a better photographer not only in years to come but in terms of making a name for my self in times to come.
