Martin Parr



Martin Parr A Photographer that was heavily criticised for his subjects and style of photography. He was frowned upon for taking pictures of people that were deemed less fortunate thank him.

To me, I feel he's just showing parts of life that strike him as amazing or annoying. Take for example, his picture of the person eating a Bacon sandwich. He says even the Queen has the same issue as us. That we don't want the fat in our mouth and we try to work our way around it at all costs.

Maybe it's just the viewer taking offence to the images before trying to find out Parr's real reason for the image.

He takes lots of Images and uses a 'Ring Flash' this is almost like having a mini studio strapped to his Camera and is fantastic for close up shots.
