Blanch uses color relationships and dominant lines to frame and compose his photographs. All three photos have a use of line, light and color. The depth of field is very close up maybe one to five or so feet. There is a contrast of color in the first photo with the green grass and red strips of the building along with the blue sky it is almost a transition from cool color to a warm color then back to cool again. The second photo has smaller hints of color contrast with the small amount of yellow on the headband with the blue of the model's shirt. The third photo, though it doesn't have such a prominent color contrast it is made up for in the contrasting line relationships that Blanch made. There is a lot of intense detail which makes the pictures more interesting, such as the dust/debris on the face mask in the second photo.
The meaning of this series is not that obvious. These three photos don't seem to have any kind of relationship except for that technical aspects of line, light, and color. There may be a meaning of space and how things can occupy certain spaces. All of these photos are taken close up. Why? Maybe the artist wanted to fill the space of the picture plane as much as possible filling it with different relationships of light, line, and color.
These photos are very well done. Blanch has taken relatively underwhelming scenes very interesting. The second photo especially encapsulates a perfect combination of light and color. This photo is also incredibly clear, the dust/debris on the mask is perfectly visible as well as the wrinkles/folds of the model's skin. The first also really does cause the viewer to really look at what is being photographed, though the scene is a bit boring the color relationship really causes the eye to bounce between the two cool colors. The third photo is also very focused the vines almost create a sort of curtain for under the bridge. I really enjoyed the relationships created within each photo by using line, light, and color.
