Cindy Sherman is an American photographer and film director. She is best known for her conceptual portraits. This picture is from her Balenciaga series. Where she posed as various characters and slipped on a series of looks by Balenciaga. She posed as characters like, the fashion victim; the aging doyenne; the delirious clubber. Sherman says "It was inspired by the idea of party photos seen so often in magazines where people, desperate to show off their status and connections, excitedly pose to have their picture taken with larger-than-life-sized smiles and personalities". I liked this photograph because it honestly just reminded me of some crazy lady at a party. I love the big glasses and the big coat. I really love how Cindy Sherman can just transform into so many characters and make them feel so real to the audience.
