Bouncing a filling makes sex more fun. You can't lay there and do nothing.

:-D
Martin said somewhere that The Last Resort would be impossible to shoot now because someone would take exception to elements of the subject matter. How popular consciousness has changed in 30 years! The naked male infant was sufficiently inspired by the photograph to a take a photography degree as an adult. The point about the telephoto wasn't to snoop - Parr has no problem shooting in people's faces - it's to challenge the wide angle aesthetic of street photography as a whole. He's always been experimental in his approach, and his advocacy of Stephen Gill who shoots exclusively on film and whose work is all about the film medium, shows he isn't anti-analogue.
I posted the link because Martin Parr's work was closely associated with hand held medium format colour negative photography, but he found the transition to digital easy to make. For others that isn't so. Parr didn't seek commercial success, advertising and fashion came to him after Last Resort and I'm sure the irony of the situation wasn't lost on him! One of my favourite Parr quotes came when a young and somewhat naïve interviewer asked if he wasn't a little bit obsessive in his photography. Martin Parr replied that the problem with most photographers is they aren't obsessed enough.
Martin Parr?
Never heard of her.
He doesn't like film and he swears to 'P' mode and hate manual, wow....!
I am sure if he ever actually read the manual for his camera, he would be able to utilize actual manual control as well.
Kai on the other hand, has put the 'fun' in photography for many years with digialRev (and analogRev), he recently quit digitalRev and is now living in the UK and runs his own channel.
I think Kai has done more for photography 'for the masses' than Parr and I think you need to have been pretty long in this game to even know who he is.
Check out digitalRev's channel, there are tons of videos for the young and budding photographers out there, they are fun and relaxed videos for the most part, covering the basics and various ideas, new equipment etc, sure as heck more interesting then many of the talking heads on there.

Every blogger out there are sponsored to promote various brands, but the digitalRev-TV has loads of videos not focusing on the latest camera, but more "how to" series and also how to shoot film. Then again, diititalRev was not owned or sponsored by camera-producers.
Kai, these days, especially in his new channel, is more a reviewer than the older style digitalRev fun-tv and it is more apparent that he needs his income and sponsorship.
- Doesn't stop him from whining about shortcomings of various brand though, even though there seems to be more reviews and covering of various 'conventions' and 'venues'.
But squarespace seems to be the solution to all problems!
- I find it strange that seasoned, professional photographers like Parr can shoot in P-mode.
What do they do when the camera decides to shoot a portrait at f16 and ISO 12800 at 1/50's?
Call it 'art' ?
It's lazy and typical for people who didn't adjust that damn blinking clock on their VCR's back in the day.
Yes, well....age and probably the field one is in.
- Photographers tend to know more photographers than non-photographers and non-photographers tend to buy stuff that photographers create.
I wonder where Parr gets his main income from these days, his photography, or sponsorship ? (most big names out there are endorsed, and even if he is more known in the UK or for a different generation of photographers, he very likely is).
He uses TTL II then.
You can still use manual on your camera, the camera instructs the flash to go up or down in power and you can adjust the flash-power trough flash compensation if it's too weak or too strong, TTL basically has nothing to do with the camera being in manual mode or not.
I just find it strange, then again, his photographs are not my taste (googled and checked, meh'ed and moved on).
''Are you going to call him a 'peado' for taking the Last Resort series?''
No...but I do notice that you have introduced the term into the discussion - while you throw around charges of ''tabloid/clickbait thinking''.
Dreadful and insulting assumption, but hey...whatever's on your mind.

I follow several podcasts and vlogs who do talk about various names in photography, Parr has never been mentioned even once.

Again I'm not sure if you're serious. And I suggest you do some background.
Yes indeed, also Nick Turpin's shots of bus passengers: https://petapixel.com/2014/11/08/ha...aphs-london-bus-passengers-nighttime-commute/Are you familiar with Philip Lorca diCorcia's Heads series (and book I think)? That is telephoto street photography. I'm massively inspired by almost all work I've seen of his.
It's certainly true that Cartier-Bresson had access to a Leica and as much film as he desired compared to most of his contemporaries, but he explored the artistic potential of those tools brilliantly. He was of course a man of his time with some fairly stodgy likes and dislikes, including blackballing Martin Parr's Magnum membership. Fortunately he was in a minority. All professions and arts have a degree of nepotism and protectionism, but photography is one of the less ring fenced, especially since the internet, hence the popularity of YouTube "photographers" who are shills for manufacturers and retailers.I was for the most part not being very serious, more tongue in cheek, but I could care less for forgone 'heros' like HCB, AA and the whole lot really, since success in this trade is based more often than not, on connections and background, usually a rich one, instead of raw talent.
Kai is amusing in a bawdy kind of way, but he made his name as a front for an off shore box-shifting camera seller who wanted to appeal to a younger demographic. He'd probably admit his photography is limited. DigitalRev had a few interesting features like cheap camera challenge, but the majority of videos were concerned with commercial churn, not photographs. Since the demise of DR Kai seems to be a gun for hire, and will work for anyone who wants a slice of his ironic take on the camera market, including promoting professional video equipment that he's manifestly ill-equipped to assess.You can't reach a younger audience with dry talking heads, it needs to be fun, to the point and cool, digitalRev and analogRev was just that. (not sure what is happening with the channel, as no new material has been posted in months.)
digitalRev has a lot of reviews and comparison, but if you had bother to look down the list, you see that they cover stuff that newcomers typically ask 100 times over. That, and Kai and Lok's shenanigans made the channel a youtube hit for any young person with an interest for photography, they have also covered analog photography and cameras.

i saw his work for the first time 5 mins ago !Funny you should mention Turpin. I only became aware of these photos last month. I think they are beautiful. I realised I've seen a lot of work that probably imitates Turpin's.
Now you are just being difficult because you can, the channel was a hit for the very reasons listed.
