This gallery of images called 'The Puppet Show' was photographed by Winkler + Noah. The collection is meant to remind us that children need to be children.
The 30 portraits within 'The Puppet Show' by Winkler + Noah feature children between two and eight years of age whose mouths have been transformed into puppet's mouths. The effect is meant to illustrate how easily we allow children to be turned into marionettes and reflections of our will.
Winkler + Noah's 'The Puppet Show' was published in the volume "200 Best Photographers Worldwide" and also received an award from American Photography of New York.
