Gregory Crewdson

Gregory Crewdson is a fine art photographer who creates massive, cinematic-like photographs in which every small detail is meticulously planned. Crewdson makes use of a large crew similar to a movie set in which he is the director. His large-scale photographs have an inherent narrative quality, they give the viewer hints about what has happened or about to happen while still leaving a certain vagueness, leaving some room for open interpretation. I really enjoy his photographs because they often seem close enough to reality to be true, but also have some type of otherworldly feel created by the composed aesthetics.
