Loretta Lux - Photographer

[Elli]

Oh they're wonderful. I especially love the ones with landscapes in the background, I just want to jump in there.

In a way I get a feel of unease, like I want to know the childrens stories. None of them seem too happy but the beautiful thecniqe and romantic landscapes balances the feel of unease from the children with a feel of calm and peacefulness.
