Renowned photographer Gregory Crewdson's work is a photographic genre all of his own, seamlessly weaving the narratives of everyday people's lives into the cinematic aesthetic of a Hollywood set.

After his start in the mid-1980s, he has culminated a huge body of work, now celebrated in his first retrospective exhibition and accompanying catalog book. Gregory Crewdson by Gregory Crewdson is edited and authored by Walter Moser, the head of photography at The Albertina Museum in Vienna, and published by Prestel, a leading publisher of art, design, and architecture books (for more in this vein see our guide to the best coffee table books).
