Gregory Crewdson’s distinctly cinematic approach has inspired filmmakers and photographers alike. His meticulously staged photos require large crews and careful planning. In his discussion with our Director of Programming, Dennis Lim, Crewdson talked about the importance of collaboration, his new work’s focus on the woods and rural settings, and how David Lynch’s Blue Velvet influenced his style.
