Gregory Crewdson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gregory Crewdson (born September 26, 1962) is an American photographer who is best known for elaborately staged, surreal scenes of American homes and neighborhoods.
Crewdson was born in Park Slope, a neighborhood in Brooklyn. As a teenager was part of a punk rock group called The Speedies that hit the New York scene in selling out shows all over town. Their hit song "Let Me Take Your Foto" proved to be prophetic to what Crewdson would become later in life. In 2005 the song was in ads to promote digital cameras by Hewlett Packard.
In the mid 1980s Crewdson studied photography at SUNY Purchase. He received his Master in Fine Arts from Yale University. He has taught at Sarah Lawrence, Cooper Union, Vassar College and Yale University where he has been on the faculty since 1993.
Crewdson is represented in New York at the Luhring Augustine Gallery and in London by the White Cube Gallery
