Though the sense of realism in German photographer Loretta Lux's striking portraits of children remains eerily intact, Lux does not strive to create faithful photographic representations of her young subjects. Instead, each image–invariably comprised of a lone child in a sparse landscape–is painstakingly composed and manipulated to create psychically charged explorations of the nature of childhood and the process of self-discovery.
