 more technology than art July 24, 2006

time will tell if this book is a one hit wonder or a classic, but it is certainly a popular topic of art speak. digitally created, i should say that it isn't really photography at all, and beyond that it's not terribly interesting to look at.

I waited for quite some time for this book to come out, but I ended up being a little dissapointed. I love Loretta Lux, but I know this is not a full compilation of her work and I feel like many of my favorites were left out. Maybe she's saving them up for "Volume 2".

hmmmmmmmm..
I'll take Loretta's oversize headed models with their blank icy expressions and combine them with Maggie Taylor's surreal complex backgrounds. As Dire Srtaits would say in their Money for Nothing song,"yeah, that's the ticket!" If I did that, I'd emerge from the struggling artist classification. I'll be an instant hit!
But really, this is an excellent representation of another emerging photographic artist who is using Photoshop very creatively in a painterly way. I just wish she would add some more obvious "danger" to her compositions. After all, alluring mystery is good - but there's just too much cutesy innocence here for my taste. Oh well, I guess it's a cool thing in modern photography to present subjects which are "cryptically innocent" and "vulnerable".
But it's still highly recommended. They are masterly done. Stare long and hard at the pictures, they will give you the chills!

I don't know why, I just do. Icy weirdness and strange childhood memories. I just love this photographer's work.
