Placid Photos

Love the placid photographs by German artist Loretta Lux (selfportrait: second photo) of eerily enigmatic children. The artist executes her compositions using a combination of photography, painting and digital manipulation. Trained as a painter at the Munich Academy and influenced by Old Masters such as Goya, Bronzino, Runge and Velasquez, she works the entire surface of the photographic image in the computer over the course of many weeks. Props and vintage costumes are carefully selected, as are her subjects.
