Gregory Crewdson
May 13, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Art & Music & Photography
I was thinking about Yo La Tengo’s album And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out over the weekend, and remembering how awesome the album artwork was. I decided to look it up and see who the guy was, and it turns out it was Gregory Crewdson. Crewdson is a New York photographer who takes these amazingly surreal, production-heavy photos that evoke this really surreal and almost creepy feeling to them. The way he lights is photos is crazy, almost like a movie would be set up.
Check under the cut for a video of him talking about his process as well as a behind the scenes of a shoot he did.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.I love his work.
I had the opportunity to see his pictures on a large scale in a Parisian gallery a few weeks ago. They remind you of the atmosphere on David Lynch’s movies.
And I ordered his Beneath the Roses book recently ;)
Beautiful work!
Definitely beautiful, but 5 weeks!?
I feel silly with my 6 day feature film now.
Crewdson is one of my all-time favorite photographers. His sets are over the top, like a giant circus that comes to town, sets-up and then performs one amazing act and calls it quits.
The marvel of his work is that ever set piece is carefully orchestrated.
Definitly one of favorite photographers. Amazing surnatural atmosphere!
Angele: Which gallery in Paris is carrying his work?
Absolutely amazing.
I saw one of his shows at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills. His imagery is amazing.
Love his stuff! I am currently putting together a final project about him for my art history class. I really enjoy his ability to almost bring the feeling of a dream to life.
