This is one of my favorite photographers. I can appreciate the work that must go into shooting the image with her in it. Love the expression in her face and the city in the background. Sherman is best known for her conceptual portraits, which she clearly states are not self-portraits. She was the recipient of a MacArthur Award. Her work raises questions about the role and representation of women in society and the media; issues that are still very relevant.In her landmark 69 photograph series, the Complete Untitled Film Stills, (1977–1980) Sherman appeared as B-movie, foreign film and film noir style actresses. I'd rather direct someone else as a model for sure!
