My
selfie was inspired by Cindy Sherman. Her images reflect her interests and her
personality, which is what I did for my selfie. After watching her documentary,
I instantly knew what my selfie was going to be based on. This selfie personally
describes the kind of person I am. It caught my attention how Cindy based her
images on her personal life. Her images describes how she sees herself and she
expresses herself through them.
Sherman utilizes the camera and the various tools of the everyday cinema, such as makeup, costumes, and stage scenery, to recreate common illusions, or iconic snapshots, that signify various concepts of public celebrity, self confidence, sexual adventure, entertainment, and other socially sanctioned, existential conditions. She used color film and large prints, and focused more on lighting and facial expression.Cindy uses her photography skills to capture the truths behind closed doors.

A
person's photo will indicate certain clues as to who they are. A full-length
picture will show what clothes they are wearing. A close-up will show their
make-up, jewelry, and facial expressions. There is a possibility that
underlying facial features may indicate which expressions a person adopts most
often. Humanists will tell you that a picture is only a small slice of someone,
which is true, but in my perspective, there is a lot you can tell about people
from a little bit of information. Everything from the clothes we wear to
what our room looks to what our facial expression is gives away a little bit
about us. It's not everything, but if you are using the right
perspective, you can tell a lot from only a little bit. I
have always been shy and get anxious about meeting new people, but I can
function normally in social situations. I've been told by many friends that
they thought I disliked them or that they found me intimidating. Cindy Sherman
caught my attention because her images are based on her personality. My images do
not reflect who I am, that is why I chose this specific selfie. I wanted to be
myself. I can honestly say that this selfie describes me as a person. I am very
silly, friendly and I actually smile a lot. I can only be myself around people
that I am comfortable with. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
