Gregory Crewdson

His photography is called tableaux. It looks like a movie still, he sets up everything for his photographs.

When he was younger he was in a band called The Speedies and one of the songs were  "Let Me Take Your Photo”.

His time at Purchase College is where he experimented with photography but only as an outlet and hobby. After his time there he went to Yale to get his MFA. His senior thesis was about portraits of people who lived in Lee MA.

He has taught classes at a few colleges but he is now a professor at Yale.

Most of his photos are surreal, some of his inspirations are Vertigo and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. He is also a fan of Edward hopper.
