Jeff Wall

Jeff Wall is probably one of the most talked about Photographer in classes today. He is born September 29, 1946 and a Canadian artist best known for his large-scale back-lit cibachrome photographs and art history writing.
His photography skill is one of the most precise I have ever seen. The amount of patient he puts into every single one of his photography is beyond what most of photographers do today. When he wants his made up house to actually look like someone had lived there, he will actually find someone to live there for a while before coming back to photograph that scene.



The above image is call Invisible Man, and I would say that is one of Jeff Wall's most well known and best photograph. The amount of detail in that photograph is magnificent, everywhere you look, there is something interesting.

Here is the link to his 2007 MoMA exhibition
