Research of Photographers

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! 

This week, I’ve researched a vast number of photographers in order to grow inspiration for my photo essay project that I will begin working on very shortly. Immediately, photographer Cindy Sherman caught my eye.
After reading through her biography and observing some of her photographs, I have chosen this one to be my absolute favourite:

This photograph remains untitled, as Sherman tried to avoid the use of text and description, and ‘‘has resisted making theoretical pronouncements about her work’’. I found this to be quite fascinating, as it gives the viewer an opportunity to perceive her photography in their own way.

I think that there is a unique use of light in this photograph, it has the right amount of brightness but also the right amount of darkness. Additionally, I think that the model’s expression really elevates the entire look and feel of the photograph.

I definitely see myself looking into more of Sherman’s photography and gaining inspiration from it!
