Art and Narrative




Title: Untitled 2001

Gregory Crewdson is a photographer who stages fictional and surreal tales of modern American suburbia. Each photo uses large crews and props, like cranes and lighting rigs, in order to obtain a dreamlike effect. His photos capture moments in which his subjects appear in a trance or being moved by strange forces. Unitiled 2001, depicts a woman who floats across her flooded living room. The details in this image planned and staged, especially the lighting, to create the effect. In some of his other photos special effects and extra lighting are used to create a natural moment.
