Gregory Crewdson shoots phenomanal photographs.  He creates elaborate sets with spooky lighting and exquisitely detailed mise en scène of seemingly ordinairy suburban locations that are slightly off kilter.  His view on them makes the everyday seem alien.

Ray Ogar introduced me to Crewdson’s work a few years ago, and mentioned that they feel very Spielberg to him–specifically, ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’–and I couldn’t agree more.
