Here they are:
Self portrait assignment-
Cindy Sherman: I love Shermans work. She has a video on Art21 titled "Characters" that I have watched numerous times and used as a huge influence for my self portraits. She uses all odds and ends (such as fake press on toenails) as accessories for her work. This is not about a fantacy. People think that Shermans work in about her wishing to be a certain image, but she thinks of it more as a growth from her own dreams and emotions. She finds it as a "preformance" Much like the controvercy behind my heavenly headpeace and religion, Sherman had depicted herself in blackface.

Gertrude Inturbide: She photographed social injustist of the leftist parties in Mexico and had her works featured at the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City (she even shot in Kahlo's bathroom).
Her subjects spoke volumes without eyecontact which was extremely intreaguing to me.

Mary Ellen Matthews:
Matthews always was one of my favorite photographers and I think its because her photos are so commercial and whimsical, which is exactly what I love.
I always reflect on Matthew's work for ideas in props and facial expressions.

Underwater Assignment (photo/video)-
Katy Grannan in "San Francisco Bay Area":
She tells how she likes to go places and shoot places in which she has no control. Her objective is to create "beautifully unsettling images".
She also did a bunch of Self Portraits.... Check out the series "Boulevard". Extremely raw and unposed but it made me realize that I wanted posed imaged.
“Discomfort is a really important feeling, and it might help you recognize some of your own limitations and the way you see the world. Or just the fact of other possibilities.”
