Our visual perception and interpretations underpin a process within a conceptual approach forcing us to visually see a representation and reaffirming our sense of identity and the realism of the photographic image laid before us because of this it is easy to see why long term lasting effects ripple though individuals lives, creating a negative self-image. We will look at aspects of Cindy Sherman`s images and explore her reason as to why she completed a series of self-portrait in the way she did and examine the relevance to what she was intending to show.

He uses his art to confront many controversial topics and allows his audiences to take part in his art.
