Parr’s Advice

Quite enjoyed listening to Martin Parr’s advice to students.

Particularly liked his encouragement for everyone to go out and ‘take more crap’.

My work is ‘Unfinished Stories’. Life is always in motion, every moment creates a sense of place or personality. Having travelled and worked all over the world, my photography is informed by my view that we are more the same than we are different – yet differences reveal stories. Details matter.

I seek intimacy, rapport with and understanding of the subject, whilst asking questions about who people are, what they’re doing, and what concerns them. I deliver to the best standard that I know how: technically, artistically, respectfully, ethically.

The aim is to fairly represent the subjects of my work, whilst challenging clients and audiences with engaging and creative story-telling.
