Biography: 
1969 Born in Dresden (DE)
Loretta Lux (b. Dresden, 1969) trained as a painter at the Munich academy and began making photographs in 1999. In 2005 she won a prestigious Infinity Award in Art from the International Center of Photography in New York. The artist walks a fine line between painting and photography in her technique. Lux photographs her models in vintage clothing in a studio against a white backdrop divorced from any social setting. She then uses a computer to place them into surroundings she has photographed herself. The resulting composites are then subjected to a process of subtle modification via digital manipulation which can take several months. The influence of Old Masters painters such as Bronzino, Goya, Runge and Velasquez is most evident in the way Lux carefully structures her finished compositions.
