Like Ciu Xiuwen's work, Cindy Sherman also expresses an interest in the role of women in society. However, instead of using models, Cindy Sherman uses herself to get her messages across. She plays the roles of various women from different times and different situations in her "Centerfolds" series of her untitled film stills. She also places an emphasis on the female figure by cropping herself so that she is the main focus of the piece. I personally enjoy Cindy Sherman's work, for she leaves her film stills open to interpretation. She does so by creating a certain kind of suspense due to the expression on her face while she is in the specific situation that she has placed herself in. Unlike Ciu Xiuwen's work, on the other hand, Cindy Sherman does not use any kind of digital manipulation in her pieces. Her photographs are more naturalistic and dramatic than the work of Ciu Xiuwen.
