Martin Parr, born May 23rd 1952, is a modern documentary photographer. A lot of his work is based upon social classes and power. Some work that links to power are his Liberation imagery, in these images he uses the event of Liberation Day which is celebrated every year in Jersey to create photographs, usually of people to show the power that people that lived through world war 2 have regained power.

Technical: This image uses unnatural lighting, which is coming from above. Though the lights are dim and therefore cause the brighter colours within the image to stand out more, such as the hats and the people. Martin Parr has taken this image from fairly close up using a wide lens to see as many of the people within the frame. He may have decided to take it from this close to display how closely he and we are related to these people.

Visual: This image uses lots of colours. The main colours that stand out are red, white and blue. This was likely done to show the people within the images overwhelming love for Britain. This is also shown by the Union Jack logo being repeated throughout the image overhead and on the hats.

Contextual: This image was taken at a Liberation celebration which is a celebration in Jersey to remember the day the island was liberated from the German occupation at the end of World War 2. This image shows people who likely were very young during the time of the war or born shortly before it ended.

Conceptual: This image was taken as an image to celebrate Jerseys freedom from Germany during World War 2. It was taken on a Liberation day celebration, it shows lots of people who were likely alive within the war sitting down with Union Jack hats. An idea Marin Parr may have had while taking this image is to stay close to the people within the room to show the connection between him and them. He may have also decided to take the image while they were all holding the hats in the air to show that they have faith in their country.
