About the Author

Christian Waeber
cwaeber Somerville, Massachusetts, USA

Born in Fribourg, Switzerland, in 1964, Christian Waeber moved to Boston in 1993. His photographs have been featured in View Camera, Preservation Magazine and Art-Photo-Akt, and exhibited at numerous locales in New England.

"Like Gregory Crewdson, Waeber brings an outsider’s eye to nocturnal urban locations, loading the familiar with a transcendent significance. As Waeber puts it, he wants to give his pictures the sense that they are “a beginning of a story.” Crewdson is most known for his pictures of tense protagonists who look like they’re on the cusp of a major life event. Waeber’s photographs, on the other hand, carry more oblique menace. Unlike Crewdson’s anonymous suburbias, Waeber’s images often contain recognizable landmarks in the Boston area. These differences add up to a more intensely personal interaction between the picture and viewer. "

I love these photographs albeit my least favourite is on the front cover! As I'm off to Venice shortly, I'll be thinking of these images and hoping I may capture images that are as thought-provoking and beautiful as these.
