Holidays are coming

So basically today is not fully photography based. I have been thinking a lot about the Christmas holiday, as i will be leaving university to wonder down south of the UK and go home to Didcot. It will be an experience of interest as the routine of Christmas will be the same as always, however, everyone is a tad wiser and has something different to say about the year. The interest will be in what my grandparents have to say about everything as i converse with them about my photography work and projects that i am planning on doing. Although my time at home will be filled with smiles and laughter because they hardly get to see me. My dog is one member of the family i am missing, ok i speak to my mum everyday but a dog doesn't talk.
Just to get into a Christmas mood here are some photos. I love Christmas....its always a nice time of year to be with family and the loved ones in your life.

Cindy Sherman is a photographer that i am very interested in today. I have been consulting in my best friend Google to give me information on her and low and behold did not fail me. She conducted self portraits in certain situations. It confides with my project of fear that i want to do. I want to do a self portrait of the things i am scared of and manipulate them a tad to look scary to viewers....
Sherman's work.....

What do you guys think???

First Post.

Okay so this is my first post.

I'm Amy, 19 years old and as you can gather a photographer. Photography pretty much became my life at the age of 15 when i started going out with friends. Just taking the odd snaps of parties and things that happened. Now i take photographs of most things. I am currently undergoing a photography degree in Chester, well i say its a photography degree....but its more defined. "Fine Art Photography"...which has a lot of different meanings to different people. What does Fine Art Photography mean to you?? (post in comments) Fine Art photography to me is attention to details and creativity with subject matter. Although my lecturers seem to have a different idea of this, so i can never win with my subject matter.

On to business....
I put this up because i want to get noticed and for the world to see things how i see them. Small projects will be posted and random photographs that i have taken through the day or week shall be put up for your criticism, all posts welcome. Also photographs by other people that i find interesting or want to chat about in general.

It's my first time blogging to so i am completely new to this but people say its easy...so i guess i shall just wait and see. So far so good. If you read this and want to see some of my work then its on facebook (Amy Brant Photography) and www.myspace.com/abphotouk. I want to specialise in live music and fashion photography as these are the two types of subject matter that i enjoy shooting the most. At the moment its here and there with photographing bands and doing some fashion shoots when i get the time....non commission at the moment too as i want the experience more than anything.

That's a bit about me and my photographic life....
