As I become increasingly immersed within my ‘Every photo we took at the beach’ series, I can not help but recall the photographs of Martin Parr.
Whilst his images of a seaside resort past its prime are quite different to my family photographs, I thought it would be interesting to compare the two next to each other. Parr has claimed, after backlash about his photographs, that he just pictured what he saw. What I like about this is the fact of capturing everyday life and the inbetween moments which I have reflected on previously.
I hope what I can also capture in my own series is this reality of family life and not just posed, happy faces.
