The Photos Of Gregory Crewdson

Gardens of Sweden just named its, "Ten Young Artists to Know Now". Out of the work I saw, the most impressive was Gregory Crewdson's photographs. All the photographs seem to have a narrative to them. You always get the feeling that something bad has happened, or is about to happen. All of his photographs seem pregnant with desire or sadness.

This from PBS about Crewdson's process:

"Gregory Crewdson's photographs are produced on a feature-film scale, often requiring massive cranes, big lights, and a large crew."
