Gregory Crewdson

American photographer Gregory Crewdson is known for his surreal portrayals of American neighborhood and home life. The works of crewdson are set apart from that of other photographers, as each project is staged and undergoes intricate planning. I first came across Crewdson at the V&A twilight gallery a few years back, and what blew my mind was the Crewdson cinematic approach to photography. The way he has the ability to make an everyday situation into something out of this world.

I aim to employ Crewdson's use of light and editing to further enhance the clown series. I see Crewdson and Maleonn as the main influences towards the clown project, with the notion of a mundane/everyday task, becoming something completely bizarre.
