Experimental theater director, designer, and choreographer, Robert Wilson has been exploding conventional notions of portraiture since 2004. Everyone from Isabella Rossellini and Johnny Depp to an owl and an elderly car mechanic has fronted his lens, with results that mix photography, film and sculpture to extraordinary, and often hilarious, effect.
Bill Viola is a brilliant video artist. Although his medium is primarily video, nonetheless, his works take an incredible amount of photography and technology in the making of images. His work is quite appropriate for our discussion at this point, the interweaving of photography and video.
Watch the 12min video interview about Tristan und Isolde in Sweden and Finland this Summer from the link below. Or ‘google’ his work online for more images.
Greg Crewdson
On Main Street, Pittsfield Massachusetts lights are being rigged, props are being positioned and actors are taking their places. It looks like a movie, sounds like a movie and smells like a movie, but it isn’t. All of this activity is to make a single photograph, by Gregory Crewdson.
“I work with a production crew that all come out of film. We work with cinematic lighting but we are only after creating one single perfect moment.” (Gregory Crewdson, photographer)
Over an 11-day shoot in a variety of locations Crewdson’s team will make a series of multiple exposures which will be digitally combined to make six final images. He’ll produce an edition of six prints of each image priced at approximately $60,000. There’s already a list of prospective buyers.
With his striking tableaux which combine Hollywood’s production values with suburbia’s bad dreams Crewdson has become hot property, confident that he has an audience who will appreciate, and if they can afford it, buy his work. For Crewdson the business and benefits of being a photographer feel very different from the experience of earlier generations.

Well, here’s a “copy & paste” from Intro to Photography’s Photographer of the week in case you missed. :)
Annie Leibovitz
One of my favorite photographers of all, for her versatile, daring and crafty style. I was able to see her exhibition: A Photographer’s Life, and many of her original prints in Paris last year.

Here’s a link to a Flickr group (LOMO) on alternative photography. Their range of images and techniques are very diverse, and inspiring:
Short and sweet…check this out! It’s pretty awesome. Not sure if I would ever use it but it seems pretty cool. The iPhone 4S has a sick camera on it and this would just make it even better.
