Artists on SOCS

Professor Sanders put u a few interesting artists on SOCS that all have to do with imaging in some way. Gregory Crewdson digitally alters photos to create an unusual effect. By taking different pictures at the same place but at different times, changing the lighting and combining them together he creates truly unique work. Teun Hook is my favorite of this group and through the use of digital editing he places himself in fantastic situations like the polar ice caps. He edits so well it really looks like he is where he says he is and doing absurd things like sticking his head through paintings. Jeff wall is similar to Crewdson, but he takes far more ordinary subject matter, and distorts them credibly through digital editing. Cindy Sherman work is older and is not edited digitally. She took photos of her self as a celebrity in all the stereotypical poses. All of these artists produce very interesting images.
