It's hard to figure out the plot when I can't tell the actors from the scenery. At least with a painting, if it's there it's supposed to be.
Yes, needs a interpretation center. Hopefully whoever paid $33 grand for the first OP picture, got an explanation or brochure.
His photo shoots are produced more like film shoots. I've worked in studios where there was a lot of production behind the image (food, product, and fashion) but even the most complicated, bloated photo shoot was simple compared to an average scene in a film shoot.

Crewdson (I thought there was a D in there) takes the film approach but makes a single frame rather than a whole movie.

This is a very well done clip illustrating his process. I find watching the process much more satisfying than the end result, but I'm a process-oriented guy. If getting there isn't half the fun, then why bother making the trip? Am I right, ladies?
