Influenced by movies and art, this photographer has become a true original
GREGORY Crewdson is one of the most prominent fine-art photographers working today. Influenced by photographers including Diane Arbus, painters such as Edward Hopper and film-makers such as David Lynch, his images predominantly show strange, intriguing or unsettling scenes set in suburban America. Elaborately arranged, the pictures seem to show preoccupied people at moments of reflection, or contemplating strange events that have just happened.
What’s his background?
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1962, the son of a psychoanalyst, Crewdson studied at Purchase College, State University of New York, where he discovered his passion for photography. He later studied for his Master of Fine Arts at the Yale School of Art and graduated in 1985.
