Crewdson has dealt with the neuroses, fears, and secret desires of a society looking into the abyss of its own psyche since the mid-1980s. His images are set in suburban America and refer directly to the myths of Hollywood movies. The intricate and staged photographs were shot with the help of a large crew after weeks of extensive preparation on film-like studio sets or on location.
Crewdson deliberately utilised extensive digital composing technologies for the first time in Beneath the Roses to give it its typical hyper-realistic clarity, incredible depth and focused details.
