His ongoing series <em>Until the Water</em> captures cypress trees, abandoned buildings and flooded landscapes illuminated by carefully staged light, unveiling places that seem at once timeless and fleeting. </p>\n<p>Working from a flatboat, Frank spends 40 to 60 nights each year camping across Louisiana, planning his journeys around moon phases and seasonal water levels. After positioning his custom-built lighting system, he steps into the water and photographs from a tripod capable of standing in depths of up to 25 feet. Moonlight, shifting clouds and changing weather become collaborators in the process, allowing each long exposure to capture a unique convergence of natural and artificial light.</p>\n<p>Rather than documenting Louisiana as it is, <em>Until the Water</em> reveals how it feels, a place where beauty emerges through cycles of loss, recovery and renewal. You can explore the complete series, along with more of Frank&#8217;s atmospheric photography, on his <a href=\"https://frankrelle.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"
