Artist Research for Mon. Oct. 5th

Loretta Lux is a very influential digital artist right now. She poses children and sometimes herself in the studio and then photoshops them onto various backgrounds creating very somber portraits. Which is rare for child portraits. On a personal note I am interested in her use of red headed models as this is not a common hair type to use and she uses the hair color quite a bit. I would love to know if there was a reason for the color choice. Looking at pictures I believe she also increases the size of her models heads for an added effect of wrongness.

I enjoy the somberness of her subjects and would like to employ a similar feel in my models.
