Gregory Crewsden






Gregory Crewsden is a ‘cinematic’ photographer who works on a scale unparalleled by others – a crew of hundreds help him create/make his dream like ethereal photographs. His images are the result of many exposures that are digitally combined, the originals set up by a special effects crew, lighting crew amongst others. His scenes are explorations of American life, and are satisfyingly unpleasant and uncomfortable. What at first looks normal is anything but when explored, what first is familiar is then unsettling. I’m particularly fond of the abundance of fear, anxiety and isolation that his images display.
