Cindy Sherman: The first time I ever tried a digital camera, you know, like a serious digital camera, I just completely stopped working with film, and I would never go back. It just made the process so much easier for me because working alone, in the past, I would, well, there was a point where I could keep the makeup on and keep everything set up if I needed to reshoot it. And I would develop the film, and then I could check it right away. And if I was still in makeup, then I could just redo it. But then something happened with the chemicals, and I couldn’t get them right anymore, and so I had to take off the makeup, then go to the lab, wait two hours, come back, and then I’d realize, ugh, they’re all out of focus or even though I was doing, you know, test print Polaroids, but the Polaroid, you can’t quite get the color right, so that’s sometimes wrong, and you can’t really tell looking at a little Polaroid, you know, close up if it’s really in focus or not. So yeah, once it was all digital and I could just check my computer like every 20 shots or however many shots I felt like I could take at a time, and then just keep shooting and keep shooting, and then I would also, I could just like add like on top of the character, I could just like the character, caricature, the character could evolve over time too. And so, while I’d be shooting one character, it like literally would turn into a different one. Yeah, it just opened up so many doors. And the idea of then putting two characters together or more characters in one image was so much easier because of Photoshop and taking the background out and just, you know, inserting something, it was just, it’s just — yeah. I was worried at first that there would — shooting digitally and working with Photoshop that it would be almost too broad of a spectrum of what’s possible and that I felt like at least shooting with film and, you know, shooting everything in my studio set up the way I want it to be, it at least gave me the limitations that I needed to — so that I knew, I could figure out what I wanted. And I was nervous that digitization and Photoshop would mean that, like God, you know, I could use, I could, you know, shoot myself in a bathing suit and yet be on the North Pole or something, which people would do for ads, but I still found ways to limit it so that it wasn’t quite so intimidating as it was when I first began.
