Loretta Lux´s images are beautiful, oh so beautiful.
Beautiful children in lovely, old-fashioned dresses in old-fashioned settings.
Children like dolls, empty faces in tiny little landscapes and wee little doll houses.
Her images are half paintings half photography, masterly manipulated with Photoshop.

They are supposed to remind of us of old paintings,
but those old paintings are charming, and alive,
while Loretta Lux´s images are cold and dead.

Nevertheless Loretta Lux´s images posses a poster like quality, her imagery is unique:
pretty, bloodless, dead kids, dressed in pastel, surrounded by pastel. Kids like ghosts living in a haunted house.
