By Cindy Sherman questions “whats real” shows the amount of realness and motivation a photographer has toward their work. Asking those questions shows how much heart is put into one photo. When Sherman questions whether she is herself or the role she has taken on in the photo makes it clear that she takes her work so seriously she doesn’t know herself. All of this definitely gives a new meaning to pictures don’t lie. From Photoshop to acting photography is changing. I believe it is not a bad thing to alter your picture in order to create your point and alter the perception of your viewer. Just because something is recreated doesn’t make it false, just because something is “loud” doesn’t make it absurd, in fact we do it all the time in our speech and explanations, its called exaggeration, which as we know just gets the point across.

I totally agree with this post Vkim89, Sherman was remarkable with the way she took her photos seriously. In order to produce exceptional photos, i can see it takes passion and determination to love to do what you do. I highly doubt if she found photography to be some kind of game, she would’ve had such works. We as people exaggerate a lot, if not all the time. It’s the way of life and it can be applied to the world of photography.
