Cindy Sherman was born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. There was a lack of interest in art in her family and herself until she decided to explore art in college, but didn’t like the limitations in paintings. She moved to New York City and began taking pictures of herself. She left clues about herself in her photos, which left confusion upon the majority of viewers about her personality.

The process in which I took the Cindy Sherman picture was that I made Emily wear a blonde wig and a cheetah print scarf as well as make her give a look depicting her fierce side in a way like Cindy Sherman did within her self portraits.

My favorite assignment this term was the spirit week collage. It was my favorite assignment because it was fun taking pictures of people during spirit week since they’re dressed crazy and are generally in a more photogenic mood. 

The assignment that shows my photoshop/photography strengths was the article project where we found a photographer in a magazine and have their work inspire us. My strengths shown in the project were my abilities to adjust levels and color balance well, to do a good selection, and scaling the images while changing the opacity of one layer to match the other.
