Dictators are interesting, no?
Martin Parr
As artists get wealthier and more famous, often their work gets worse... I'm fascinated by the decline of artists. I suspect I'll be in decline myself. It's a fact of life.
Martin Parr
The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.
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
I am what I photograph.
Martin Parr
Everyone is a photographer now, remember. That's the great thing about photography.

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
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
I get up early and open my emails, write cheques and answer the phone whatever needs to be done.
Martin Parr
I avoid Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if I need to communicate with someone, I email direct.
Martin Parr
I am a big fan of Jim Jarmusch and I do love big screen documentaries.
Martin Parr
Tourism is the biggest industry in the world.
Martin Parr
Unless it hurts, unless there’s some vulnerability there, I don’t think you’re going to get good photographs.
Martin Parr
You can't learn passion, either you've got it or you haven't.
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
Nobody thinks about technical issues anymore because cameras or camera phones take care of that automatically. On the other hand, you still have the option of controlling every technical aspect. It's the most accessible, democratic medium available in the world.
Martin Parr
