In
Erler’s Family Tree, life has been
slowed to the slow pulse introspection in photographs infused with warm-toned
shadows, and in that stillness, relatives and memories suffuse the empty
space. His pictures are made in low
light, containing piercing light and blooming shadows.
One of Erler’s goals for family tree was to evoke the feeling of
memory. Family Tree retraces the steps back toward the latent charge of a
fading past. All of his pictures have a nostalgic feel yet there are no triggers
in the pictures that cause it. Erler pictures have an absent feel that
unconsciously makes your mind wonder and he uses this to his advantage in his
photos.
I
think Erler’s family tree was a cool concept. I like how he manipulated the lighting and spacing
in his pictures to make the viewer feel nostalgia. I also like the
introspection aspect of family tree,
it forces you to think about what’s going on in your life and if u can do that as
a photographer I feel like you have done your job.
