Brief Encounter

Brief Encounter | Backstage Rituals | Scoop.it

Brief Encounters, a 2012 documentary directed by Ben Shapiro,  follows acclaimed photographer Gregory Crewdson’s decade-long quest to create a series of haunting, surreal and stunningly elaborate portraits of small-town American life — a depiction of a disturbing and imperfect world.  Crewdson’s fascinating photographs are elaborately staged, well-designed narratives compressed into a single image. Many of them taken at twilight, set in small towns of Western Massachusetts or meticulously recreated interior spaces, built on the kind of sound stages associated with big-budget movies.

Sophie Martin's curator insight, April 6, 2:27 PM

Sebastião Salgado: The silent drama of photography | Video on TED.com

Economics PhD Sebastião Salgado only took up photography in his 30s, but the discipline became an obsession. His years-long projects beautifully capture the human side of a global story that all too often involves death, destruction or decay.
