Today you will be writing about this photograph made by artist Gregory Crewdson.
Read this short biography for Crewdson before you write: Gregory Crewdson is an American photographer best known for staging cinematic scenes of suburbia to dramatic effect. His surreal images are often melancholic or disturbing, offering ambiguous narrative suggestions and blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality, thanks to the artist’s painstaking preparation of elaborate sets, lighting, and cast. “My pictures are about a search for a moment—a perfect moment,” Crewdson has explained. Born on September 26, 1962 in Brooklyn, NY, the artist works with large production teams to scout and shoot his images. His work has been exhibited widely, notably including solo exhibitions at Gagosian Gallery in New York, the San Diego Museum of Art, and White Cube in London, among many others. A 1988 graduate of the Yale School of Art, he has served on its faculty since 1993 and is currently the director of its graduate studies in photography. The artist lives and works in New York, NY.

This is an image of an old woman who appears to have fallen on the ground in a rather crowded room. The image uses very dark colors such as crimson, brown, and gray to give the image a gloomy feeling. The light in the image is mainly from a lamp as well as very little light that comes from the window, -perhaps with clouds outside, and t gives the image a dull and gloomy feeling. The objects in the image include an old woman, a blue shirt, blue pants, brown shoes, 3 brown and red armchairs, a mirror, a lamp, a window, many picture frames, a brown carpet, curtains, a clock, and flowers. In the image the old woman appears to have fallen and is staring intently at the ground.

This photo by Gregory Crewdson is of an old lady who looks as though she has fallen down in her living room. The room is cluttered with chairs, tables, lamps, photos, and other things. The photo has dark colors mainly, with the exception of the blues that the lady is wearing. Some sunlight comes in through the blinds, and a nearby lamp provides light. The look on the lady’s face does look as though she is worried or in distress, but rather as though she is contemplating something. 12/7/2017 09:44:25 am
The photograph is of a living room and an old woman laying on the ground of it. It looks like she’s hurt because of the way she's laying. The colors that are being used are very dark colors. I think this colors were used to show that the woman is suffering from something that might just have happened to her. There isn't a lot of natural lighting in this picture, the only natural light is the one coming from the window. But apart from that, the lamps are the only ones giving light to the room. The image was designed for it to be taken inside the living room. The living room has three couches, a center table with flowers on it , a what looks like a desk facing the wall with some frames, a clock, flowers and cups on it. There is a mirror of the shape of a circle hanging on the wall and frames with pictures around it. There are also windows in the same wall as where the desk is, but they're aren’t letting any light in because of the curtains.

It appears to be a room inside a house with old furniture like if it belongs to a elder or grandparent. There is an old lady that appears to have fallen in her room. The image uses a lot of brown colors like dark brown and light brown. The subject which is the grandma is wearing blue so the colors make her stand out more. There are a lot of shadows in this image. The lighting is very dim. The lighting is some natural light and studio lights. There is a window which we can see some natural light come out of. There is also some lamps which we can see emit some non natural light. Some of the objects included in this image are an old person, some furniture, decorations such as lights, blankets, photographs and flowers. The lady has a very panicked face.
