Look them straight in the eyes. Close Up: Portraits by Martin Schoeller. He portrays the people we all know from the wonderful world of entertainment and politics. Or is that the same thing? This project gives you a chance to study the faces of the famous ones in great detail. Both the quality and quantity brings an interesting dimension to portrait photography. It is a wonderful appropriation of the works of Bernd and Hilla Becher.

Gregory Crewdson
One of my favorite artists is Gregory Crewdson. This photographer knows how to capture a moment in time as if it were a movie still. The feeling of something has just happened or is about to happen resonates through every of his very large format photographs. Scenes that remind me of the paintings of Edward Hopper.
