Barbara Knijff Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I'm writing a final-essay for school for my graduation about: One framed movies. I'm looking for artists like: Jeff Wall and Cregory Crewdson Gregory Crewdson - Family dinner Can you give me more names from artists who you think I have to mention in my project! And offcourse those who have some great pictures! (Or filosofie or way of working..etc.) (I'm looking for pictures and not stills from movies, only real photography..) I'm from the Netherlands and I think there are much more of this kind of artists in the USA! It's so hard to find some good artists or material about this subject here! :angry: (Sorry for my bad english..) I hope you can help me out! :) Thnx!

Francesco Bonomo Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Barbara, i think it largely depends on your taste. For instance, I don't like Crewdson at all (i saw lots of his "art" in an exhibition a week ago), while I love, for instance, Salgado or Cartier-Bresson (and many, many others). In a way, you could say that every photographer tries to tell a story with a single picture, hence "one framed movies". I think it'd be better for you and for your essay if you chose the ones you really like based on your own personal judgement and taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Knijff Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Francesco Thnx for your reply! But this is not about my personal taste.. Ofcourse that will be a part of my essay, but for now I want to know the story's, technics, and filosofies about how a picture 'such as that one from Crewdson became that picture. I mentioned those 2 photographers, just to show you what I mean.. Salgado is in my opinion more registrated photography.. Most of his pictures are not directed. The pictures of Cartier-Bresson could be directed, but I don't think they are.. Both are great photographers, but not the photography what I was looking for. I know every photographer want to tell his story with a picture, that's what its all about! But I mean photographers who make whole settings before they take a picture..

Francesco Bonomo Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 But I mean photographers who make whole settings before they take a picture.. Ok, i'll try again then, although I think it's a very broad definition...basically every fashion photographer could appear in your essay ;) Anyway, the first two names that come to my mind are David LaChapelle and Oliviero Toscani, heavily staged pictures for both of them. Hope it helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara Knijff Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Helmut Newton and Steven Klein. Steven Klein is more like it! That's more a photographer who is utilizing a cinematic aesthetic. Photos who are all like scenes in a movie.. each shot is an epic, both in creating the image and the final result.

Saul Rodgar Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 But I mean photographers who make whole settings before they take a picture.. Cindy Sherman is a great example of someone who does that and she has a great body of work. Check her out if you haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony le grand Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 perhaps it's less "mise en scène" and more spiritual but Duane Michals is always a reference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Metzger Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This topic is not very useful unless we post some examples. Naming Names turns into a pissing contest :) Albert Watson I am really an avid fan of his contemporary style. Rich contrast in his Black and whites; very interesting subjects and beautiful compositions. Finding his work recently has paralelled my journey into integrating design, and conceptualizing into my own work. He is a big inspiration. I wanted to look through his most recent book and try to pick one things that I would do differently in each of his shots. I started to notice how few images I wanted to "correct" something in them, and then realized very shortly after that I was only going to degrade his images. They are perfect.
