The Canadian photographer Jeff Wall is another example of using cinematographic style in photography to convey a narrative like Gregory Crewdson. The photography "Mimic" (1982) typifies Walls work as he is intrested in showing political and social tensions captured in one moment. Just like Sherman and Crewson he leaves the viewer to imagine the implacations as to what would happen next to complete the narrative. One technique Jeff Wall use's to inhance his images cinematic feel is that he mount's his images on light boxes, so the images are backlit, i feel this is very successful technique that add's to the overall feel of the image and draws attention to the image.
