I watched a documentary based on the photographer Gregory Crewdson called Brief Encounters. It documented Crewdsons quest to capture small town American life and portray his inner desires and own anxieties. Which also highlighted the form of process he and his team of 70 would go through to set up his ideal vision for a particular photograph. I found it interesting how he would set up as if he was making a film. He spoke about not being interested in the past or what happens afterwards, he was captivated by the idea of 'the' moment, that is in between. His style is represented in a film like manner, he uses films as a source of reference to his ideas. Capturing certain elements within a film for example; (Blue Velvet) transforming it to fit his own perspective of his visions etc.
I like the idea of process he uses to create intimate portraits.
