Artist Entry # 6

Gregory Crewdson






Gregory Crewdson is a 46 year old photographer known worldwide for his extravagent sets and striking photographs. He's said to not just "take photos" but "make photos". He sets up huge sets as if they were a movie set to create his images, and his images all seem to have something quite awry and mysterious that the viewer can't quite figure out. He teaches at Yale University, and says that he finds his inspiration and ideas while swimming.
