Gregory Crewdson, Untitled (Beneath the Roses), 2004

For the comparison between my work and Gregory Crewdson's, I chose some works that I did last fall that Embodied a similar spirit of Crewdson. With a somewhat journalistic approach, but more so based on the staging of events.
This particular photograph intrudes on a private moment in a private residence, although 100 percent staged, similar to that of Mr. Crewdson.

For this photo I approached it with a clean and simple lighting setup. I decided not to use a more dramitic lighting setup which I feel seperates me from Gregory Crewdson and his style.

For this image I used a more dramatic lighting setup to construe a depth to the image, while still maintaining focus on the subject matter. The subject is that of concern and worry, never mind that they are toys standing on a pile of sand in my house.

While Gregory Crewdson is not a landscape photography persay he does have aspects similar to Jeff Wall and his technique of staged scenarios. About landscape the text says " landscape can be defined as vistas which encompass both nature and the changes which humans have effected in the natural"(304).
