Narrative Photography

Narrative Photographers Research.

Definition of narrative
The definition of narrative is a spoken or written account of connected events, e.g. a story.

Cindy Sherman
Sherman poses in cramped interiors, her own apartment, and vast exteriors (mostly in and around New York, some in the West) as a film heroine stilled in action—heroic, in light, in shadow—the images untitled. 

The reason i like this photographer is because i like the use of limited color within her images, the black and white theme make the atmosphere a gloomy old look. I also like the way she poses in her own apartment as the images then become very personal, as she is the subject matter.

Gregory Crewdson
Gregory Crewdson reworks the American suburb into a stage-set for the inexplicable, often disturbing, events that take place at twilight. In creating what he calls 'frozen moments', he has developed a process akin to the making of a feature film. Operating on an epic scale, he uses a large crew to shoot and then develop the images during post-production.

I like this photographer because his work almost looks surreal, the bright use of color makes the atmosphere more of a strange than warm and bright as the use of bright color should give, this creates  unusual feel towards the audience when viewing his work.
