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 a mother and her son eating dinner together. One detail I see are that the kid in the picture is sad and doesnt seem that happy. I also see that there are two seats that are empty. This image is ralitvlily dark, but in the kitchen it is well lit thus bringing the viewer's attention to them. The thing that is happening in the image is really nothing, they both are just sitting there.

This image is of two people sitting at the dinner table. There are two extra seats that are pulled open. Those seats have cutlery and plates on them as well, which might mean that other people might be coming. There is what looks like a ham, and some salad at the settings. There is a window at the back, through which you can see another house in the background. The people also have a robotic look on their face, which makes the photo seem posed.

The image shows a woman and what looks to be her son sitting at a dining table. There is another room in the background that looks like the kitchen. There is one light that seems to be illuminating the dining table and the rest is surrounded in shadows. There are darker colors that surround the brighter colors that are highlighted in the light. The photograph looks to be some scene from a movie.

This image was taken by Gregory Crewdson who is best known for staging cinematic scenes of suburbia to dramatic effect. There is a woman sitting in the middle of the table which looks like the mother of the young guy. The table is set with plates with four places, but only two were being used. The window behind the woman shows the house behind or beside them with one of their window lights on. This image seems to be taken at night time using I’m not sure if an extra light or edited exposure on the table, the women, and the young boy.

The image by Gregory Crewdson is showing two people sitting on the dining table and having dinner. They are using some dark yellow and bright yellow along with shallow colors and a bright blue background. The background lighting is a mix of studio set up and some dark shadows. Some objects included in the image are a table, some chairs, food and basically the walls. In total, the image appears to look like a family having an evening dinner.

In this image there are 2 people sitting at what looks like to be a dining table, they are both looking down at the ground, there is also food sitting on the table. There are dark colors being used in this, and then there is the bright vibrant colored kitchn in the back. The lighting in the main room is very dim and ark, but in the kitchen in the back there is a light on showing all of the colors in the kitchen. They look like they are about to eat dinner.
