6 CINDY SHERMAN PRESENT

7 Cindy Sherman Cindy Sherman is 57, and is an American photographer and film director, best known for her conceptual portraits. Sherman currently lives and works in New York City. In 1995, she was the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. Through a number of different series of works, Sherman has raised challenging and important questions about the role and representation of women in society, the media and the nature of the creation of art.

8 Techniques used by Cindy Sherman
Cindy Sherman uses women, in almost all her pictures, often photographing herself in allsorts of different elaborate costumes and make up to transform her identity for each image. Although Sherman does not consider her work feminist, many of her photos, call attention to the stereotyping of women in films, television and magazines.
