I don’t like this image that Martin Parr has captured, as the colors are too saturated, and the woman is out of focus, but it feels like she should be in focus. The image looks like it was taken by accident. 

The person that took this photo is called Martin Parr. He was born on the 23rd of May 1952. He is a British photographer, and photo journalist. He has also done a bit of street photography. He particularly likes documenting the different social classes of Britain.

Most of Martin Parr’s work is extremely unique and exaggerated.  The images that Martin likes to capture are strange, the colors are very strong, and the perspectives are unusual.  Martins images are mainly based around three things. These are criticism, seduction and humor, and because of this his photographs are original and amusing. They also make us think of how we live, and how we present ourselves to others. 

The main concepts that Martin has been researching is Leisure, consumption and communication. Parr manages to capture things that seem familiar to us, but are shown in a completely new way.
