Crewdson is an artist that I am not very familiar with, but I am very intrigued by the direction he is taking his work with the use of digital. Some of the pieces look like a logical extension of the film still idea.

His work is represented at White Cube (the site is not very friendly, but there is a large sample of Crewdson’s work). Also, the work is reviewed in a Guardian article.
