Cindy Sherman Cindy Sherman built a name as one of the most respected photographers of the late twentieth century. I feel like i picked this picture because I can put myself in the photo and feel the same thing. I feel like when i look at this pic i get the word “lost”. Cindy Sherman has taken a level horizon and leading lines. it look really cool because you can see almost everything in the background. it kind of wants you to keep wondering what is at the end of the road, and why she is standing there. I think that the black and white is better then a color picture because it gives it more meaning to it. The sky is cloudy and darkish and that makes the mood set more. The lighting is outdoor light. it looks like everything is darker then where the lady is standing. I think that Cindy Sherman puts people to the side kind of so that you can see the whole other side of the picture too. Margaret Bourke-White Margaret Bourke-White is a woman of many firsts. She was a forerunner in the newly emerging field of photojournalism, and was the first female to be hired as such. She was the first photographer for Fortune magazine, in 1929. In 1930, she was the first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union. When i look at her pictures I can feel the pain that the person looks like they are going through. Margaret Bourke-White took i high prospective, but then took the bottom part as dramatic also. She chose outside lighting, and made it black and white. I love how that a color can change everything...if it was in color it wouldn’t look the same. Richard Avedon Richard Avedon dropped out of high school and joined the Merchant Marine’s photographic section. With-in two years he became well known. I feel like it takes something weird to something really beautiful. It makes it have a dramatic effect by the darken parts on the bottom and then light on the top. I love how the lighting just looks. I feel like she is free. Richard Avedon made this a full the frame.
