© Gregory Crewdson 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 image contains a man with a set of a jungle. He has this set of a jungle in his house. There is a lot of green and blue in this image. He is photoshopped because you can tell that this image is fake. It is impossible to be in a setting like that. There is no way that a man can be bigger than a jungle or in a jungle or in a house.

The image is of a man replacing grass inside of a house. The main colors used are green and brown. The lighting is very dark. The objects in the photo are the man, the grass and the inside of the house. The man seems to be in deep thought.

The image is of a man who appears to be putting turf on the inside of a room. He looks like he’s replacing it. The image is very dark and green. There is also a hole in the floor that the man is looking at with a depressed look. It is hard to tell what kind of room it is because there’s a fireplace and a piano like a living room but there is also a mirror and closet like a bedroom, also it’s on the second floor.

This is an image of a man replacing turf in his house. It seems to be using very earthy tones such as green and brown. The lighting is very deep and detailed. This image has a lamp in the background that seems to be illuminating the man.

There is a man in picture. He is fixing the floor. The picture looks dark maybe because the author is not in a good mood. I can tell that this man is working hard because his t-shirt is dirty. There is a type writer in the background which means the setting that the author want to create was old-fashioned.

This image is surreal image of a man who is in a house and the floor is covered with fake grass. He has “dug” a hole in the floor and is kneeling on the ground. On the floor there are two empty cigaret packets and many cigaret buds on the floor. He has a look on his face like he is disappointed in what he found. There is a lot of turquoise-blue-purple and red-orange. The lighting looks artificial accept for the lighting on the mans face. His face is being illuminated by the natural light coming from the hole in the floor. There is a organ in the corner of the room, a fireplace to the left of the organ and a drawer with a lamp on it that is on. There is also a big pile of face grass.
