Martin Parr Critique

Martin Parr
From the series "Playas"
Medium: Digital
Copacabana Beach, 2007

The subjects of this photo are these two people showering after hitting the beach in Brazil. This photo comes from Parr's series entitled "Playas", in which he showcases what is commonly not seen at the beach. He captures what can be described as the candid awkward moments at the beach. Martin Parr commonly photographs irony of tourism. This photo represents how traveling isn't always as glamourous as it comes off to be and the image of the jet setter isn't always as beautiful as they are portrayed. 

My first blog. :) (a little late, I know)

Hello there, I am currently in my fourth year of college. I probably have three hundred more, or at least it feels like I do. I'm double majoring in criminology and psychology and hopefully I'll be headed to law school in once I'm done with my undergrad. I love photography, in fact this blog has been set up for one of my photo classes. I'll be sharing my own photos and others' work with my thoughts. Hope you enjoy.
