When looking at Loretta Lux's work, I find it has a much different feeling that say the work of Meatyard or Gaskell. While their work feels to be much more on the creepy, eerie side, Lux's photographs--for me--feel surreal and painterly. They feel more like odd paintings than eerie, surreal photographs. I think this may be a result of the setting which the children are placed into. However, I do enjoy the photo manipulation which she utilizes in her works. It's very interesting, you have to do a double-take to make sure they aren't actually paintings.
