BEAUTY: Photography and Film--Alex Prager

Photographer Alex Prager (previously here) created a truly ambitious photo and film project. Face In The Crowd features actress Elizabeth Banks, elaborate indoor sets (that look like they are outdoors), truck loads of costumes and props, and a crowd of 350 unique looking extras! She shot the photos while filming. Once edited, the footage became a 3-screen immersive art installation with a 10 minute run-time.


Look at this preview of the art installation that shows the pristine cinematography (reminding me of Gregory Crewdson and Cindy Sherman)...



...and then please do take the few minutes to watch this behind-the-scenes look at Face In the Crowd which shows the staggering scale of this work.
