Emulation Project

For my emulation project I decided to focus on the artist Cindy Sherman, who is known to take self portraits in different settings, dressed as different people. I was inspired by some old photographs I found of my grandmother when she was around my age. There are a lot of similarities in our appearances and I wanted to try to emulate Cindy Sherman by taking photographs of myself in the exact same position as my grandmother in that photograph. I am going to style my hair and clothing like she did in those photos, and try to make my photos look as similar as possible to hers. I will take the photos digitally but alter them to be black and white in photoshop so that they look more similar to the original photos. Here are some examples of Cindy Sherman's work:
