Martin Parr Thinking Quotations

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

I never think of photographs as being individual. Always as a group.

I have been photographing people dancing for 20 or 30 years now, and I think I will eventually do a book of dancing photos.

Unless it hurts, unless there’s some vulnerability there, I don’t think you’re going to get good photographs.

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.
