She takes photographs of herself, dressed as various characters. Cindy's methods include Photoshop in more recent years, stage makeup, and detailed costuming. She shoots alone in a studio, serving as the photographer, model, makeup artist, and director.
Her photographs raise questions about the roles and portrayals of women in American society. Some of her work is among the most expensive art ever sold.
I love the expressiveness/acting in her photographs, and the unintended effect that they have on the viewer as Sherman says that the photos are not supposed to be explicitly "feminist". I love her versatility, the use of color and black and white, and the use of a wide variety of characters to create her concept.
