First is Jeff Wall. He does an interesting narrative where he sets up a picture with clues as to what happened.
Each picture then becomes a puzzle or a riddle that is solved based on the interpretation of the viewer.
He's almost like the Riddler of photography.
Another interesting photographer is Wendy Mcmurdo. She uses digital manipulation to create a playful scene of a theatre girl who sees her double for the first time.
"[this] is an example of tableau photographer in which the constructed nature of the image is foregrounded"
Deadpan aesthetic: cool , detached, keenly sharp type of photography.
One deadpan photographer that I particularly like is Richard Misrach.
There's something alluring about giant natural formations that are just static in an image.
They're so oddly peaceful....
One more photographer, who's actually not in my book and I'm not completely sure is considered deadpan, is Michael Levin.
If any of you has ever bought an ikea frame his picture might have been in it.
who knew deadpan could be so exciting
