Martin Parr (Independent Research)

This is some of the work of Martin Parr, who is an amazing social photographer and has a great ability to see things that are every day and photograph them in a way that’s still makes them interesting and different, but also reflects the society, and the times the images were taken, with the cloths and attitude of the people, as well as that the expressions on some of the people’s faces makes the images more interesting and have more impact, as well as that the composition of the images works really well, for example the first image, looking down the leg towards the sandal is a really interesting way of photographing the beach, as well as that the photograph of the man eating the ham, I find that really interesting because photographing someone eating isn’t usual yet it still somehow works. I also like his work because it’s looking at people, and I find social documentary and people watching interesting, and is an area I will consider working in, in the future if I can overcome issues with approaching people on the street and asking to take the photograph.
