After studying the four artist's photoshop work, I was really amazed. Gregory Crewdson is certainly a master of the trade: the emotion his images evoke is stunning. I especially adore this one. He titled it "Ophelia" which I believe is genius. His art is so crisp and sharp, it's almost surreal. The details he meticulously  add really enhance the images: they're all busy and cluttered, but they're not random. Everything seems to fit the scene and everything seems to have a direction. I love how he enhances the images, making things look dirty and almost evil. He is a master at this art. Everything looks like it really happened, so believable, which is quite creepy. He also seems to really emphasize the shadows and highlights in his art, which made it surreal.
I love it.

Teun Hocks is another artist I loved. His style is so creative and unique. It looks completely belie
vable- like he really is in this Mary Poppins esque world. I appreciate his imagination with his art- the 
world is portrayed as calm and serene, almost fairy tale like, yet most of the actions are ones of struggle or  physics-defying. It's really cool!

Cindy Sherman had a really attractive style. The photographs are bold, highly contrasted, eye catching and provocative.  My art is probably most similar to hers. I really like her style. 

Jeff Wall is the last artist we studied. His work is the most real and interesting. It shows modern life with a twist.
