More quotes by 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 get up early and open my emails, write cheques and answer the phone whatever needs to be done.
Martin Parr
There are two parts to the process: taking the picture and finding ways of using it.
Martin Parr
You can't learn passion, either you've got it or you haven't.
Martin Parr
I am kept awake by the list of possibilities for shooting more photos and deciding what I must prioritise next.
Martin Parr
I do read many of the photography magazines from the UK and abroad.
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
The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.
Martin Parr
My black-and-white work is more of a celebration and the color work became more of a critique of society.
Martin Parr
You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures... You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.
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
Choosing sepia is all to do with trying to make the image look romantic and idealistic. It's sort of a soft version of propaganda.
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
I am away so much, so I rarely see live TV, but I use iPlayer to catch programmes.
Martin Parr
Tourism is the biggest industry in the world.
Martin Parr
Taking photos is a form of collecting.
Martin Parr
I avoid Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if I need to communicate with someone, I email direct.
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
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 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
