I recently did a presentation on Cindy Sherman in my Photo II class. She is a well-known photographer who was first widely noticed in the 1980's. Sherman's photographs "explore the images of women presented in film and other popular media and, by implication, the role of those images as sources of identity for women." I find her work interesting because I have a lot of female symbols in my work, a lot of them being famous. I'm interested in how the media portrays women and the constant focus on women and the changing times. For more info, the website on the bottom of this post is a good place to start:
