Martin Parr

The back story is here.....
My neighbors asked me to "photograph" their 16 year old daughter. They have friends with several "Vintage Cars" and some attractive grounds at their home. I am nothing but a hack "Street Photographer". I suggested i get them the name of one of my fellow students that:
1. Shoot digital and color.
2. Have experience with Lighting/Portraiture
They said if i do not shoot her with Color, 35mm, Film...they will simply do it with their Cell Phones.
OK. Great. They pay for the film and processing, and i get to spend a few hours taking pictures of an attractive young woman.
So i think i should read a little about shooting people.......

Or...

You can skip my boring biography and go here.....!!!!!!!!!
I look at the HP Books series, "How To Photograph People" copy 1981
...and there is an example from Martin Parr.
I only know him as a "controversial" member of Magnum, that takes (odd to me) color photos of mundane scenes on the street.
Obviously, Mr. Parr has a much older and broader resume than i was ever aware of, from watching just one or two Youtube Videos.

CMOORE, reviving one of your older (and unanswered at the time) threads.

So, presuming that you took the job, how did it go?

Terry S

As it turns out, she got her first "Real Boyfriend".
They were going to the prom.....prom......is that the word.... big Dance/Function during your last year of (usa) high school.?
So they wanted me to take pictures of her and her boyfriend in their fancy prom clothing, in front of the 1949 Cadillac Limo.
That was one night only, of course, and i was out of town.
