Photographers -  Loretta Lux

5/4/2013

Loretta Lux's images are extraordinary, not least because they appear to be so simple. She is particularly known for her images of children, almost expressionless with heads and particularly the eyes somewhat enlarged, somewhat alienated. The overall effect is very painterly which was her initial training.  Indeed, the images could easily have been paintings using a pastel pallette. The exquisitely composed images appear unsophisticated with  plain backgrounds, if any, washed of colour. The fact that she uses no shadows simply adds to the strangeness of these images.
