Romancing the familiar
“For Frank Relle, a single image contains many moments. He uses fixed lighting and long exposures to create stillness, fixed shadows, and moving elements that denote the passage of time. Relle romances the familiar: Houses contemplate the lives lived in them. Trees step forward out of the forest. His landscapes are rooted in history. “
