Cindy Sherman

Today I'd like to share the work of one of my favorite photographers, Cindy Sherman. She's famous for taking photos of herself, but they aren't merely self-portraits. In her Untitled Film Stills series, she started off portraying herself as a blonde actress by dressing up and wearing a wig; later in the series she also plays other parts, portraying various female steretypes. Sherman began taking these in 1977 when she was 23 years old.
