Martin Parr Interview & Foundation Tour - Make A Good Connection To The Subject To Take Great Photos Podcast About Photography

Good photography comes when someone has a good connection to the subject. British documentary photographer, photojournalist and photobook collector Martin Parr is best known for his brightly lit and color saturated images. After 15 years of taking pictures in black and white Parr started using commercial photography techniques and principles for his color documentary photography. He has worked on numerous photographic projects and has developed an international reputation for his innovative imagery his oblique approach to social documentary and his input to photographic culture within the UK and abroad. In 2017 Parr opened his foundation in Bristol and I was lucky enough to talk with him there about taking pictures, editing documentary work, wearing socks with sandals and much.
