Both epic in scale and intimate in scope these visually breathtaking photographs blur the distinctions between cinema and photography reality and fantasy what has happened and what is to come.Beneath the Roses features an essay by acclaimed fiction writer Russell Banks as well as many never-before-seen photographs including production stills lighting charts sketches and architectural plans that serve as a window into Crewdsons working process.
