Children as Dolls Edit
Eerie Dramatic Photography

These dramatic photos are the work of Chinese painter and photographer, Zhang Peng.

Peng manipulates the eyes of his child subjects and gives them a ‘flawless’ appearance, as a comment on the westernized ideals of femininity that are spread through Asian media. 

His grotesque distortions make his subjects appear manufactured and doll-like, with chillingly sad eyes that seem to bore deep into your soul.

The image of the little girl dressed as a bride and depicted as being heavily pregnant is especially disturbing.
