Gregory Crewdson has always been one of my favorite photographers. The first time I ever seen a photo from him was a few years ago, I was so trigger by the whole composition of the photo. The lighting, the character and the settings, everything that goes into that photo create a sense of mysterious and artificial feeling.

Reading Gregory Crewdson and Bradford Morrow Journal-Bomb, it dilutes me to a whole new perspective to his work. His work are often about creating a moment that’s frozen and mute. It is combative, violent yet serene, beautiful and ugly. Gregory states that his irrational need is to create a perfect world that meets up with some kind of failure. His work often captures a secret, they are creating a believable or credible world but also an unreal reality. I feel like theres a conflict between a dreamscape and reality, leading to interesting interpretation from the audience. The anxiety, fear and desire in the photo allow us all to relate at some point in our life.
