I have always loved Martin's work since I found it 20 something years ago. There is an honesty and purity to his work that is so important for future and present generations.
Parr’s work made a very positive impression on me from the first time I saw it 40 years ago. His sense of humor and perspective on modern life are, to me, uplifting despite the sometimes not-so-glamorous circumstances he documents.
I spent 20+ years learning what I could of the craft of photography and was fortunate to finally achieve my dream of being a newspaper photographer. The dream lasted for a decade before the print industry died for papers. But for a decade it was something I will never forget. I was lucky to catch on with a small, new weekly newspaper that loved running multi-image front pages on each section so I got a ton of exposure and was well known throughout the county. Today I am in retirement from professional work and just enjoying trying to see like my idol, Cartier-Bresson.
very impressive work indeed...just maybe a little tinted with a "english photographer of english people for english audience" but that is Mr. Parr's right of choice......
Very impressive operation! Yes, the pigment inkjet prints are pretty archival. Eastman Kodak dye transfer prints will fade terribly in a few months of sunlight. An archival pigment (inkjet) print does not fade noticeably until over a year in the sun. Inkjet prints (cured) have decent water resistance too. I've tested them underwater for 7 days and they held up. (Although it your archive is underwater for week you got big problems.) A dye transfer print start to lose image dye noticeably within 30 minutes underwater. Only thing I didn't like in the show was the framed prints looked too glossy on the wall. Reflections make them hard to enjoy. Good luck with your Foundation!
It seems so, have a listen to the interview with KaiW from about 4 years ago, he said it pretty straightforwardly at minute 4.06! And it is a funny and yet insightful interview!
Y es,good therapy,,,i had everything prepared for my exhibition titled urbain nature,,i had my photographies in the file con muy laptop.and a morning everything had disaparead! I still haven t recupered
Martín parr...i am Araceli..i am valencia in spain ..i am studiying you..do you know english people here?do you come in Valencia?i d like to know english people here
Never seen so much nonsense as I have in the comments. "honesty" ... "purity" erm, His photos are boring snap shots! He'd also put me asleep rambling on
i completely agree with you regarding Parr's work - 'the typical 'Emperors New Clothes Syndrome - but then its all so safe - not a nude or anything controversial in sight...
The photographer comes across as a very honest and eloquent person and his story is told so well... Excellent little film.

I love to listen to an articulate, intelligent artist who really thinks about his work.
Totally agree.

My favorite photographer, his "new realism" aesthetic is everything and it's just my favorite xx thanks a million Tate 👏🙏
in that case you need to get out more...

I will become a member soon. Great to have this in Bristol.
How inspiring this archive is so important
Inspirational. Like Vivian Maier, his work will only become more and more valuable, to society, with time.
Photography really became my therapy through depression
such a great and inspiring person! thanx for this beautiful video!
how does he get his compositions so good? HOW?!
Very impressive! Thanks for posting.

So is Martin fully digital now??
It seems so, have a listen to the interview with KaiW from about 4 years ago, he said it pretty straightforwardly at minute 4.06! And it is a funny and yet insightful interview!
Come to America Martin. I haven’t had much “leisure” to pursue for at least 20 years. What to photograph then?
Do you know anyone that uses photography or other arts as a tool in therapy? And if you do would you please introduce?
great video
Great photographer
Incredibly jealous of his space dog collection near the end.
Great Great Great
Love/hate relationship with this country........................ I know the feeling. It must be quite hard to photograph the bits that you hate.
What were outstanding pictures 20 years ago look pretty average today,.
"Can't be any good, doesn't do weddings and hasn't got a shop."
Is he alive?
MARTIN PARR IS GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he is honest - but the work is dull except in a tiny few images - too much intrusive imagery -
Y es,good therapy,,,i had everything prepared for my exhibition titled urbain nature,,i had my photographies in the file con muy laptop.and a morning everything had disaparead! I still haven t recupered
So you're saying photog is a pacifier for crazy people? It used to be basket weaving.
I thought this guy was cancelled?
Why would he be canceled?
Every artist will eventually be canceled. However, cancellation will be like Andy Warhol’s “famous for fifteen minutes.”
Martín parr...i am Araceli..i am valencia in spain ..i am studiying you..do you know english people here?do you come in Valencia?i d like to know english people here
hi tom
I can't say anything nice so I'll polite fully decline
anybody feels that he have been ageing so much now.....
i mean, he's 66
who ain't
Never seen so much nonsense as I have in the comments. "honesty" ... "purity" erm, His photos are boring snap shots! He'd also put me asleep rambling on
What have you contributed to photography?
Trolls have devolved into boring white noise. If you were awake you would know this. You bore me
yes nothing especial as whole. As always in street photo we find some awesome pics here and there, but not in his mind
i completely agree with you regarding Parr's work - 'the typical 'Emperors New Clothes Syndrome - but then its all so safe - not a nude or anything controversial in sight...
@@MontyCantsin5 he contributed a lot with his comment. Or what else you expect? [
This liberal middle class Londoner’s attitude towards our country gives me a Love Hate attitude towards him.
Parr's not from London, you flipping prat.
