Most of the photographs people take with their cameraphones are of little value in terms of documentary.
Martin ParrChoosing sepia is all to do with trying to make the image look romantic and idealistic. It's sort of a soft version of propaganda.
Martin ParrIn 1982 I bought the newly released Makina Plaubel 55mm fixed-lens camera. With this shift from 35mm to 6 x 7, I also changed from black and white to color. Later that year, I started my project on New Brighton called The Last Resort. However, the first project I shot in colour was composed of urban scenes from Liverpool. This image was on the second roll of film. It's the first good photo I made in this new chapter of my work.
