Have you ever used one of those photo booths that blends the photos of a couple to predict what their child would look like? If you have, and you're older than 14, there's a good chance that resulting photo was overwhelmingly creepy. The flaw with these machines is that the software has no way of eliminating adult features like beards or face wrinkles, which end up being transferred to the "blended" photo, placing it firmly in the strange land of the Uncanny Valley.

Parisian photo retoucher Cristian Girotto takes this inherent freakiness to the next level in his series, L'Enfant Extérieur (translation: "The Outer Child"). Girotto believes that we all maintain the hidden alter ego of ourselves as a child, and we suddenly revert to this state when we witness something overwhelmingly nasty about "the real world." His series intends to give a physical form to our reaction to the world's affronts to our innocence.
