Cynthia "Cindy" Morris Sherman (born January 19, 1954) is an American photographer and film director, best known for her conceptual portraits. In 1995, she was the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship.
She takes self portraits that have no resemblance to herself because she is pretending to be someone else.

I also looked at the book called Photography, the 50 most influential photographers of all time. Published 2009. Page 126 to 127.
This photo is of a person which is a portrait. It is of Cindy Sherman so it is a self portrait. The photo was taken inside a studio. High Key studio lighting. It is artificial light.
This photo was taken in a studio with high key lighting. I see cool colours which are green blue and purple.

I've read the magazine New Zealand D-Photo, issue 64 Feb-Mar 2015. Page 28 to 37. This is an article on Yvonne Todd's exhibition in Wellington. I went to this exhibition.
In this photo I see high key lighting. It was taken in a studio. I can see a lot because the photo is bright from studio lights.
I see a cat and its face looks blurred. The photo was taken in a studio with high key lighting. There is a little bit of shadow and it is low contrast.
