Cindy Sherman is an American Photographer who is known for her self portraits. Inspired by film and television, she changed her identity with each image. Throughout her career, she has played numerous roles, each one as unique as the other. Her project 'Untitled Film Stills' (1977-1980) is one of her most well known. The black and white images are strong and draw you in, they remind me of some Alfred Hitchcock films.
The lighting and general aesthetic of the images remind of 'Psycho'
Here are some more images from 'Untitled Film Stills'
Cindy Sherman has been a big inspiration for this project - the lighting and the expressions on her face in each image is perfect, it adds mystery, it makes you want to know the rest of the story. Some of the images are eerie, it makes you want to see and know more.
