I've become increasingly interested in Gregory Crewdson since my last post on him. He's an obvious sourceof inspiration given my desire for upcoming Assignment to have a Tableau aspect to it.
I recently watched a documentary which was done on Crewdson's "Beneath the Roses" series for which he is arguably most famous. The film is called "Brief Encounters".
I was an enjoyable watch. Nothing particularly surprising or revelatory - his work had just the level of production values that I'd expected from what I read.
On a more general note, I found it interesting to re-read my comments on the 2nd chapter of "Photograph as Contemporary Art" which is focussed on Tableau. Overall I was pretty unimpressed at the time - even with Crewdson! I think I'll take another read through the chapter now that I've obviously warmed to this style of photography.
