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???
Sherman is fantastic, I love the fact that she plays on the male gaze to make commentry about how women are viewed in society. I wrote an essay about her :)
