Cindy Sherman is a photographer who dressed herself up as different people, photographing herself in a range of different costumes. She is best known for her conceptual portraits. The artist poses in different stereotypical female roles, these vary from an immature schoolgirl to an attractive seducer and from a glamour diva to a caring housewife. She
rman uses her own possessions as props in these images. She does this to show that women adopt several roles and identities depending on their circumstances. Her work encourages self-reflection in the spectator.My project may sound similar to Sherman's work but looking at stereotypical teenagers. However i am also going to mix up the locations, so put these stereotypes where you would not expect them and with possessions that do not fit their character in order to disturb the viewers gaze.
