Cindy Sherman Inspired Photoshoot:

In this photoshoot my friends and I took photos inspired by Cindy Sherman and her 1950s inspired housewife untitled stills. We created and took inspiration form Cindy Sherman when creating these photographs, by taking photos by the kitchen e.g floors, sinks, cabinets, stove or on the bed. Things that worked well in the photoshoot was taking photographs inspired on the bed and positioning the model similarly to how Cindy Sherman did in her own work.

I tried recreating the crying/ physically abused Cindy Sherman untitled still by creating a makeup smeared appearance on myself and my other subject in the photograph below.

I looked at her work and found the location to be similar e.g. bookcase. Many if not all Cindy Sherman’s photographs are in black and white with a slight orange/brown hue/photo filter to added to the old fashioned look.

When choosing the subjects facial expressions in the photographs many of the Cindy Sherman’s look innocent, hurt, scare yet confused at the same time, I tried to recreate that in my photographs.
