| Cindy Sherman Untitled #578 the Series Hollywood, 2016 |
“Photographs, which fiddle with the scale of the world, themselves get reduced, blown up, cropped, retouched, doctored, tricked out.”
-Susan Sontag
The overall meaning of this passage is how today in age, people use their image to alter their appearance. Photoshop has become really popular in this day and age, and people use it to change themselves. It is also being used in the art community as well. There are positive uses for photoshop and they are also negative uses as well. The positive thing about it is how a person can create good art and the negative is how people use it to alter themselves and look like other people.
For this assignment, I recreated a portrait from Cindy Sherman’s catalog. The portrait I selected was from the Series Hollywood Untitled #578. I used two different pictures to create my altered reality. I used photoshop to create this portrait. I cropped the background of my picture and then placed it on the forest picture for the background. I then did some editing to make certain parts of the background blurred.
