Cindy Sherman's photos were all focused on self portraits. The portraits are all over, from normal pictures taken of a subject in the city to a colorful background and the subject is dressed as a clown. I believe she really tried to find the subjects personality and incorporate it in the photo. It also seems that all of her subjects are females.
Cindy Sherman was born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. She was the youngest of five children. In 1972 she enrolled into the Visual Arts department at Buffalo State College where she actually began painting. During this time she found herself exploring and dressing up as different characters. She began to focus more on the idea of her work and believed she could achieve this by photography instead of painting. After switching to photography she began to get noticed nationally.
