Marin Parr Photography

Martin Parr has his own blog. The web address being http://www.martinparr.com/blog/. I like this because it gives me different ideas to how to could present my blog - also it shows he is a modern photographer coming to terms with modern technology.

This image catches my eye because it so quirky and different. It uses the rule of thirds and has been composed to capture the movement of the sea gulls and the chips - also of the flag in the background. This is so British because of the flags chips and sea gulls.



I included this image because it made me laugh - How in the perspective of other people British people are perceived as tourist makers and not the brightest - looking away from the main attraction taking picture of something stupid. The humour is captured well in this image just by the model, the action she is doing and the fashion she is wearing.


When you think of British summers, you think of maybe not the sunniest places but people still go down to the beach and normally is the whole family. The depth of field in this image is very clear as you can see the pier. The pier works as a leading line drawing you eye into the picture.



Martin Parr photographed some of the Royal Wedding street parties that went on. This is why I was drawn to him - he is quirky but also is involved with my theme. He done some of them in a normal way. The table in the middle of the picture leads as a leading line drawing the onlookers eye into the centre of the image where it is busiest.


This was an image which personally I don't like the look of however I like the way it was composed and it done with all the cakes in a pile with different tops on. There isn't much composition to this image. If i was to recreate this I would change the topping and I would get ride if the big of window at the top right hand corner.



This image made me smile because no matter how old you are, it bring you back to the time when you were a child and had your face painted. If I was to recreate this I would put the depth of Field out of focus and bring the colours up more, so they stand out more.






This image once again incorporates the humour of Martin Parr. This image has an element of the British society which I hadn't thought about incorporating into my image (the England football top).
