Artist: Gregory Crewdson
Found as part of our digital assignment, although I had seen some of his images before, as some of you likely have as well. Best known for his dark and dramatic scenes of classic American life which contain an unusually high amount of production value (lighting, staging, etc) for a singular photograph. I really love the way he takes a topic that might sound tired and cliche (stereotypical "apple pie" America) and twists it by looking at it through a surreal and mysterious perspective. Some of his images can be seen below, and you can find more of his works here.

Sweet! I haven't looked at Gregory Crewdson's work in a while. I love how much work goes into his work. Really breath taking to imagine the amount of help he needs from his peers and perhaps even hire people. I definitely feel like work that has more sweat and tears behind it is worth more than capturing a random moment. Glad you reminded us about him, because he's an overly productive artist that we should aspire to be like. Thanks.
