He stages cinematic type images of a suburban existence.Preparing biographies
Biography provided by Focal Press
Using elaborate Hollywood production methods, Crewdson’s stages condensed cinematic stills that explore the tension between domesticity and nature in suburban life, often with a Freudian twist. As a teacher, Crewdson has propagated the use of staged ingredients, resembling museum dioramas, which combine documentary and fictional components with an implicit sense of voyeurism. This results in a photographer who no longer passively experiences and edits the world, but is an active participant who creates a world and then photographs it.
