Cindy Sherman Self Portrait
This photo is one of Sherman’s most famous pieces in the ‘Untitled film stills’ collection. It is number 14 in the collection and was created in 1978. So the 20th century.
The inspiration to do this collection was from old B movies and she created over 100 images.
I really like this photo, it has a bit of an Audrey Hepburn feel to it, which is why I chose to analyse this photo, as I am a Hepburn fan.
In this photo, there is a young woman, possibly in her 20’s, very pretty with lots of style and flair, wearing the style of that era, a white blouse and a dark patterned jacket or blazer. She is also wearing what looks to be a straw textured hat.
The photo has a very simple background of two building as to not take any focus away from the woman. She looks as though she is looking in the opposite directions of the sun because there is a shadow in the right side of her face and the other side of her face is illuminated by the sun.
The woman is just slightly off-centre but she is the obvious attention too the viewer. She is in a city, in America I presume.
