More quotes by Martin Parr
I accept that all photography is voyeuristic and exploitative, and obviously I live with my own guilt and conscience. It's part of the test and I don't have a problem with it.
Martin Parr
Unless it hurts, unless there’s some vulnerability there, I don’t think you’re going to get good photographs.
Martin Parr
Wealthy people have not disappeared, they are just not so willing to show off their wealth.
Martin Parr
Everyone is a photographer now, remember. That's the great thing about photography.
Martin Parr
There are two parts to the process: taking the picture and finding ways of using it.
Martin Parr
Criticism is hypocrisy society is hypocrisy. I'm a tourist. I'm a consumer. I do the things that I photograph and can be criticized of.
Martin Parr
We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality.
Martin Parr
I do read many of the photography magazines from the UK and abroad.
Martin Parr
When I first started learning how to take photographs, you had to spend the first six months figuring out what an f-stop was. Now you just go and take pictures.
Martin Parr
I always take photographs when I attend a funeral. Most people there know who I am and expect me to be there with my camera.
Martin Parr
I am kept awake by the list of possibilities for shooting more photos and deciding what I must prioritise next.
Martin Parr
If you photograph for a long time, you get to understand such things as body language. I often do not look at people I photograph, especially afterwards. Also when I want a photo, I become somewhat fearless, and this helps a lot. There will always be someone who objects to being photographed, and when this happens you move on.
Martin Parr
I am not as cross about Thatcher now as I was in the 80s. Begrudgingly, I can see that some of her policies helped modernise Britain.
Martin Parr
Tourism is the biggest industry in the world.
Martin Parr
I avoid Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if I need to communicate with someone, I email direct.
Martin Parr
I am what I photograph.
Martin Parr
I am away so much, so I rarely see live TV, but I use iPlayer to catch programmes.
Martin Parr
Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate, and that is an aspect that I have to puncture. I do that by showing the world as I really find it.
Martin Parr
Taking photos is a form of collecting.
Martin Parr
I looked around at what my colleagues were doing, and asked myself, 'What relationship has it with what's going on?' I found there was a great distortion of contemporary life. Photographers were interested only in certain things. A visually interesting place, people who were either very rich or very poor, and nostalgia.
Martin Parr
