He is influenced by his childhood experiences and films, such as Blue Velvet. This photo shows a man in a car filled with flowers, which could reflect loss

This photo I have chosen because its a good example of whats being focused on screen. The spotlight on the protag makes it look like a crime scene. The color used here is blue, which reflects sadness. The fog in the scene adds a mysterious tone. This image, since its set in suburban america, could be a metaphor for loneliness, making the image more expressive.
This photo is known as Brief Encounter, which depicts a snowy suburban town. I've picked this photo to show how Crewdson uses space wisely. This photo was planned weeks in advanced. The snow also gives a cold feeling, not only literal, but phycological.
