People all sitting at tables in apartment buildings at dusk
/ night. The people stare blankly into the cinematic lighting, becoming
uninteresting characters in an unformed drama with no beginning, end or
context. It’s all too easy to set up a confining working practice, like
portraits in similar spaces, and light them like movies, and hope they turn
into something cinematic, but copying the aesthetics of cinema doesn’t overcome
a lack of acting. At this point, shouldn’t Crewdson have taught us something?
