Awesome series!
Kind of funny, as well.
INTENSE!
It looks very similar to Loretta Lux’s series of photographs and style.
Loretta Lux!!!
Her work reminds me aesthetically of Loretta Lux’s. I love the one with the satiny green dress.
While the work is okay, and I think the inspiration is obvious, it’s hard to get passed the fact that these are pretty much exact copies of Loretta Lux’s very distinct style.
amazing series, love her work.
