He spends so much time planning a photo to look real. Why doesnt he just find chance effects. Boring, wasteful fluff. He's already been dropped from the top tiers of art history. Thankfully.

Crewdson's work typically depicts a surreal scene with interesting lighting and layout that does not convey a distinct message. Some people like Crewdson's work enough to pay for them and as such he has made a name for himself.His photos generally aren't bad, but most people aren't interested in carefully examining what appears to be a mediocre photo at first glance. Most people prefer photos that quickly convey a distinct message.

Why would any other photographer put out photos like these if they don't think they're good?Demanding a great deal of money for a photo doesn't make it good. Getting absurd budgets for a photo don't make them good. Teaching at Yale doesn't necessarily make you good either, Yale is more concerned with prestige than competence.

If any photographer would come up with it, why don't they?

well, in certain terms your right! i do have a pretty loose idea of what artistic appreciation is though and i think you get more from crewdsons art if you do have an appreciation of the creation process and story telling of it, but again, your right, you really don't need to be an artsy person to like his work.

It's not about having an "artistic appreciation". That's saying that only people who have an eye for art can understand or comprehend his photos. Like music, not everyone has to have an "artistic appreciation" for music, different people have different tastes. Just wanted to clear that up.

it is cool that he would open up about his process. i bet there are a lot of crew people who would watch this and think--5 or 6 pictures in 5 WEEKS??? there are a lot of full features that shoot in that time. but most of them suck... wonder what this crew gets paid.

I hate Gregory Crewdson. He's a joke. I feel the same way about Jeff Koons. They don't do shit. It's ART. Get your hands dirty!!!!! The people behind the scenes are the ones who deserve the respect and cash, not this fat guy "I never hold a camera" what a fucking joke.

I think I actually agree, although the final image is really good, and in fact he has taken one of the best photo's i have ever seen, he didn't actually do it, he made it possible and that's it...the person controlling the lighting, the person behind the camera clicking the button, that's the person i look up to. yes, someone said about the 'new michael gondry film' blah blah...but at the end of the day, it's the people behind it all that make it all come together. Well done to them! |
