Cindy Sherman is an American photographer and was born January 19th, 1954. She is best known for her conceptual portraits. Sherman is still living and working in New York City. Sherman was originally a painter, but eventually felt that painting was very limiting and so transferred over to photography. Sherman is often the subject of her own photos. She plays multiple roles as model, photographer, costume designer, make up artist, director, etc. She is essentially an actress by becoming different characters for her photos. Through her work, Sherman also calls attention to the many ideas of feminism and how women play a role in society, media, and art.
