Photographer Cindy Sherman was born on January 19, 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. A few years after being born Cindy and her family moved to Huntington, NY where she grew up as the youngest of five siblings. Cindy was later educated at Buffalo State College where she took her first photography course, and ended up failing her first semester. After failing Cindy switched over to a painting major but was inspired to get back into photography by Barbara Jo Reveille, a photography instructor. In 1977 Cindy Sherman began her first major photography project called "Complete Untitled Film Skills", which captured images of women from 1950-60 films. Since then Cindy has came out with many other famous photo projects and has mainly focused her photography career on the different stereotypes women deal with.
