Jeff Wall







I saw an exhibiton by him at the Tate Modern (I think) while I was still at school. I had a postcard of both these images on the inside cover of my A-level folder so I saw them in every class I had. I always thought of him as an interesting photographer, his images were quite surreal but still believable. He seemed like THE professional, everything about his work is well thought out. His post production work, his ideas etc. The fact that he believes his work is documentary is interesting as well. It shows your images can be extremely creative and staged but because you are stil making comments about the world around you it can be considered documentary.
