loretta lux takes portraits of children and graphically manipulates them, creating a mysteriously haunting effect. barbara probst takes the idea of capturing a moment in time one step further, by snapping multiple views of the same moment. ryan mcginley paints a picture of the quintessential youth culture, while taryn simon reveals hidden, and often sombre aspects of american society, as seen in the cryogenic lab photo below.
