Gregory Crewdson
Is one of the strange figures of the photography community in USA the last thirty years, his style is always strict and he characterize him self as a perfectionist. In the biggest range of his work Crewdson explores the every day life of the American middle class suburban. In his pictures he explores obsessively the moments as an unseen viewer and after he recreate this moments in highly controlled environments and succeeds to present pictures with the exact same filling which we would have only if we had witnessed a scene of an unnatural event. He always works with a huge crew of assistants, helpers, and several other technicians. And this is who gives him the ability to give the biggest attention on the smallest details in his set ups, like, chairs, windows, lights, toilets, birds, pillows, and so many other tiny tiny things, that we can ask a ourselves if these things have a meaning not only for the characters in the pictures but for the photographer as well. Gregory Crewdson as most of the photographers of his age and period, start loosing ground acknowledgment. This happened when he started to use popular actors and actresses in his strange set-ups. This move seems that take of from his pictures the curiosity that had created to the viewers about the fillings that they had used to see to appear on the faces of the unknown actors that he used to use in his strange images. But he always will be a muster of photography and maybe one of the best cinematographers that we will ever see.
