Kurzbeschreibung
"Beneath the Roses" contains the complete set of images from Gregory Crewdson's new series of photographs, made between 2003 and 2007. As in his earlier "Twilight" series, each elaborately choreographed image depicts an emotionally heightened moment in which something very important (although we never quite know what) seems to have happened or is about to happen. Like film stills from unmade movies, these photographs portray mysterious unknowable stories which are reduced to a single, static, highly charged image. This book also includes source materials, production photographs, lighting charts, sketches and architectural plans, which give the viewer a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of his elaborately staged photographs.

The first thing Russell Banks mentions in the book's introduction is the comparison between Crewdson's work and Hollywood. Not surprising of course because the photos are produced like the movies only here it's one shot at a time. Looking at the fascinating production photos at the back of the book I'm reminded of Winston Link, another photographer who went to endless trouble for the one shot and mostly in small town America, too.
Crewdson provides you with forty-nine content rich photos, you have to provide everything else. Maybe the plates should have been loose in a box making it easier to create an ever changing scenario according to their sequence. I thought the small town setting ideal for these tableaux, the streets, houses and people seem to fit together and allow the viewer to focus on characters and their lives.
I was rather disappointed though with part of the book's production. The photos, thankfully suitable larger than those in Twilight, are only printed in 175dpi. These images are saturated with detail and texture and I would have thought a minimum of 200 or preferably 250dpi would be necessary to bring out their quality. So many of them have a long depth of field but also feature some small detail or frozen action that is important: a person in a car, the items on a bedside table or people seen through the window of a motel room.
Like Twilight the back of this book has chapters on Location and Soundstage, both have production shots (unfortunately not captioned) and drawings to show the amazing amount of work that goes into these photos. A look at the Production Credits also confirms this (and reinforces the movie connection) with Lighting, Best Boys, Gaffers, Key Grip, Special Effects, Prop Masters, Wardrobe, Transportation, Hair and Make-up, Casting, Catering, Legal and more. Oh yes, let's not forget Swamp Design by Buzz Gray, too.
Overall a remarkable book but if you are new to his work have a look at 'Gregory Crewdson 1985-2005' (ISBN 9783775716222) which includes twenty plates from Beneath the Roses.

Small towns, large fantasies

Crewdson provides you with forty-nine content rich photos, you have to provide everything else and that is not difficult because the people and situations before your eyes pull you into their lives. What is she thinking, is she speaking to him, what is he doing, why are they together?

One of Crewdson's best books
1. April 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There are several books that contain Crewdson's cinematic photography, and I think that most people would agree that this one is the best so far.
In his other books, people have complained that the images were not large enough. This book has larger images. The book contains 49 plates, which measure about 14.5" x 9.5"
The book also has photographs and sketches of a lot of the work that went into the final photographs, such as set design, lighting, props, and more.
Some of the photos in this book are also in the book "1985-2005", but they are larger in this book.
The book still doesn't come close to capturing how breathtaking his full-size 4' x 5' photographs are, but it does a better job than any of his other books. It would make a great addition to any photography book collection.

Amazing atmosphere
8. September 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is amazing. Our curriculum requires to discuss the work of Gregory Crewdson and I ordered this collection without really knowing what to expect. The photos transport a nightmarish and cheerless/gloomy atmosphere- an impressive work of art. Bonus: At the end of the book the reader gets an insight of how the work is done (sketches, details about the technique, etc.). I warmly recommend this piece of art to all people who are interested in photography, art, the movies or/and interesting personalities.
