What's the meaning of this sentence ?
Judy Dater`s photographs depict everyday reality while also evoking qualities so fleeting that few photographers can capture them.

My confusion is what the connective subject of "fleeting" is. Does the "fleeting" describe the "depict everyday reality" or "evoking qualities" ?

Thanks in advance : )

Answer

"...while also evoking qualities [that are] so fleeting..."

Answer

"Fleeting" modifies just "qualities". It means that the "qualities" exist for only an instant and are difficult to capture on film.
