Gregg Segal is a photographer by vocation who got his first camera as a present when he was 11 years old. The first thing he photographed with his new camera was his neighbor’s garbage. As Segal himself explains on his web site, that was when his mother first knew he’d end up becoming a photographer.
And so it was. He studied photography at the California Institute of the Arts and then went on to specialize in writing stage plays. In 1994, he returned to photography and became a devotee of taking pictures of people and making portraits, invariably through the peculiar and ironic point of view of a fiction writer.
One of his most brilliant projects is this series of superheroes about the house: they combine portraiture with fiction and settings include Batman’s house, Superman’s bedroom, and the Hulk’s garden. Anyone who believes in superheroes may at one time have imagined what Captain America’s foyer would be like, or whether Wonder Woman ever had time to tidy up her backyard.
Have a look at his photographs and discover how the most powerful superheroes on earth manage their daily chores. Did you know Superman does his own laundry?
