Photos may be opening a new, empty library, because it cannot open your main library.
Where is your 550GB Photos library stored? Is it on an external drive, if yes, how is the drive connected and how is the drive formatted?
After a crash it may be necessary to repair your Photos Library. Select the Photos Library , hold down the key combination ⌥ ⌘ , while double-clicking the Photos Library. select "Repair".
