Conceptual self portrait

Exposure: 1/25 sec; f/1.6; ISO 800

Conceptual is relating to something or consisting of concepts. I would say that this picture conceptually shows something about me because of the very little details and the object but yet it tells a story. Snoopy, the stuff animal wearing the big headphones connected to the laptop listening to music with full volume. He’s huddle up in a sad position listening to a song that can be consider sorrowful. Some including myself may relate to this image because this is how some feel on certain days. Although I don’t feel like this all the time, its nice to have some quiet time and just listen to music without worrying.

Cindy Sherman | MoMA

Cindy Sherman is an amazing photographer and is known for her self portraits. Her work is very unique and has experimented with the visual of art, fame, gender, and photography to explore how identities are constructed. The reason I choose this picture is because of the detail. The soft ice on her face and the dirt places a huge role in this photograph. It almost looks like a painting which is one of the things I liked about.
