“It’s a pitfall to have a definition of photography.” — Jeff Wall

Born in Vancouver, Canada, Jeff Wall received his Masters of the Arts from the University of British Columbia in 1970 and  gone on to become one of the most influential and important photographic artists of all time. Like Gregory Crewdson, Wall is best known for large, elaborately staged cinematographic pictures.  Wall is often credited with being one of the first artists to prove that photography could be a true art form.
