Cindy Sherman was born on January 19, 1954 in the state of New Jersey. She first took up painting and saw too many limitations with it. That is when she took to photography. Sherman is notorious for her self photography. In 1977-1980 she created her famous Complete Untitled Film Stills. She has completed many self photographs ever since then in a series of which she dressed up in clown costumes and in another as a pin-up in "Centerfolds". She does not consider her work feminist by any means, however it has been featured as such. A lot of her work draws attention to women's exploitation in the media. --Sherman is perhaps one of my favorite photographers.
