Gregory Crewdson is one of the most elaborate photographs I have come across. He spends days building sets and uses thousands of lights to get his images just right. For a while he took over an entire town in Massachusettes to make photographs. His work is large, detailed and very mysterious. That is what draws me in to his photographs, there is something in each one that is not quite right and some times you have to look around the image for a while before you discover what exactly it is that seems out of place.
There is something captivating about each image, I think part of it for me is the unknown story. Each photograph is a glimpse of some story but we don't know what it is, we are given hints and are left to our own imagination to create from there.
Enjoy some of Crewdson's photographs below and see what story you come up with.
