BBC - Genius Of Photography. Unititled Film Still #14, 1978. Cindy Sherman has some very interesting work and this series 'Film Stills' Is one of my favourites. These images are completely constructed, and in such a simple way. "She turned a familiar children's game, 'dressing up as someone else,' into art by photographing the result. In her series called 'Untitled Film Stills' Sherman created over a hundred publicity shots reminiscent of scenes from old B movies." This is quote from the article 'Genius In Photography' which I find very relevant. Something so simple can be turned into something that seems so provocative and new, I find it fascinating. When I look at these images I feel as though I'm looking at some sort of fleeting paparazzi shot, but I know that is not true. The backgrounds work perfectly and seem so real that you wouldn't question if this was a studio set up or not. I've been really interested in constructing my own images since the start of my second year when I started this module. I think it's really important to hold some control into what you're photographing or making.
