Fascinating Artist
I was so glad to stumble across this documentary, lest I had gone the rest of my life never having heard of this amazing photographer.
I've been looking forward to this...
I've been a follower of Crewdson's work, in particular his ambitious "Beneath the Roses" project, and was hoping that this documentary about him wouldn't somehow disappoint -- I'm happy to say that it delivered, for me, on all levels: I learned more about the man and his development as an artist, I learned more about the way he develops his image concepts in "pre-production," and I learned more about his shooting methods.
We viewers are fortunate that the filmmaker had access to Crewdson over the course of a number of years, so there is a very real sense of process and development, rather than the compression of a rather large story into a manageable number of shooting days.
Excellent Insight
A great glimpse into Crewdson's work from behind the scenes shoots, to interviews with him and friends/colleagues. A must see for any fan or anyone interested in contemporary photography. Also, very inspiring to see how his work and process evolved over time for a photographer.
