Cindy Shermans Quotes

I feel Im anonymous in my work. When I look at the pictures I never see
myself; they arent self-portraits. Sometimes I disappear
The still must tease with the promise of a story the viewer of it itches to
be told
My ideas are not developed before I actually do the pieces
The way I see it, as soon as I make a piece Ive lost control of it

encouraging to become a photographer and
