Aesthetically Speaking, Frank Relle’s Series New Orleans Nightscapes has a very obvious repetitive theme. They are all shot at night with mostly a wide angle lens, they also are all long exposures allowing the homes to be light specifically with available ambient light.
Conceptually each photograph in Relle’s series can be broken down to tell a specific story about who, what, where and when. However most of the stories can be potrayed somewhat similarly in the series. All in all I still like the how his series is connected so simply and yet not boring to look at.
Alec Soth’s Series Broken Manual is more aesthetically complicated. As opposed to Relle’s subject matter, Alec explores a wide variety landscapes, portraits, and straightforward documentation. He works with very natural colors that are as true to life and possible, this technique is contrary to to Relle’s in the fact that Relle’s long exposures capture images that are naked to the human eye.
Conceptually Soth’s series can tell a lot more stories inside each photo. Each one is a different subject matter however still works with the series.
