«Loretta Lux» is the photography book by Loretta Lux, with an essay by Francine Prose, published by Aperture in hardback (96 pages, in English).
Lux, a German photographer trained as a painter, portrays children alone in open landscapes. She combines models, clothing and backgrounds through digital manipulation to achieve compositions inspired by Velázquez, Goya and Runge, with an unreal and melancholic air about childhood and self-discovery. Includes an essay by Francine Prose.
The photographer was born in Dresden in 1969 and lives in Ireland; the first edition of this title appeared in 2005.
For fans of portrait photography and contemporary art, and for those seeking an example of digital photography with references to classical painting.
Francine Prose is an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, and critic. She is writer-in-residence at Bard College and is a former president of PEN American Center.
