For my tableau and staged reality photography, I’ve decided to center my theme around gender stereotypes, specifically with women. I will be looking at what women were portrayed as in the 1950’s, with the photographer I will be getting my inspiration from being Cindy Sherman.

I will be basing my work off of her images, and may throw in a few ideas of my own. I will be using other people to replicate these images and show the gender stereotypes. Items for both images I will be taking should be objects such as aprons, old-styled dresses and kitchen appliances. The places where they will take place will be simple, either in a kitchen or by a door, like in the original images done by Sherman.
