Surreal Scenes by Gregory Crewdson

Gregory Crewdson

Gregory Crewdson is an American photographer who is best known for elaborately staged, surreal scenes of American homes and neighborhoods. Crewdson was born in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. He attended John Dewey High School, graduating early.


As a teenager, he was part of a punk rock group called The Speedies that hit the New York scene in selling out shows all over town. Their hit song "Let Me Take Your Photo" proved to be prophetic to what Crewdson would become later in life. In 2005, Hewlett Packard used the song in advertisements to promote its digital cameras.
In the mid 1980s, Crewdson studied photography at SUNY Purchase, near Port Chester, NY. He received his Master of Fine Arts from Yale University. He has taught at Sarah Lawrence, Cooper Union, Vassar College, and Yale University where he has been on the faculty since 1993. He is now a professor at Yale University of the Arts.
Crewdson is represented in London at White Cube.

Black and White Street Photography by Matteo Alvazzi

Matteo Alvazzi

Matteo Alvazzi is a self-taught photographer. He started shooting in 2009 with a Nikon D90 DSLR, and then moved to film with a Leica M6 on January 2010. Street Photography is something he fell in love with as soon as he saw it. Walking around streets, freezing moments forever, is something that gives him peace and confidence. It changed the way he perceives everything, with and without a camera in his hands.
