Photographer showcase: Gregory Crewdson

I love getting an insight into how photographers think. This short OvationTV video gives us a glimpse into the mind of Gregory Crewdson and it's certainly worth a watch, especially since he's such a fascinating photographer. He is known for his highly elaborate scenes of American towns that he shoots with a Hasselblad Sinar 8x10 camera. Each of his photographs is produced like a movie, taking weeks of pre-production, in which he acts more like a film director than a traditional photographer.

You can see some of his photographs in Aperture Foundation, artnet, and a good article in JPG magazine.
