Gregory Crewdson takes photos like a film director – with a crew and cast. Initially seeming quite random, a closer look reveals a deliberate staginess, if that’s a word. They’re haunting in the very american manner of Blue Velvet’s opening scene, or the sprawling tracking shot that prefixes Touch of Evil.

CCP are running a competition during the Melbourne exhibition of Crewdson’s work. It’s on Instagram, and all you need to do is take a shot that out-Crewdsons Crewdson. Simple, except that it will have to be low res and square. Not exactly cinematic. The competition is open till November 11th, 2012. Details here
