Snap Judgement - Martin Parr

Photograph belongs to Martin Parr.

1994, Martin Parr arrived at his final frontier when applying for the photojournalism super agency Magnum. Martin Parr was very interested in the scruffy beaches of New Brighton , packed with holiday makers. 

'I wanted to join Magnum because at heart I'm a populist and i wanted to have this method of getting my work out. I thought if i join an agency i may as well join the most prestigious agency' 
- Martin Parr.


I have out a short Documentary on the world according to Martin Parr on this page from Youtube, it does not belong to the website above 




Snap Judgement - Gregory Crewdson 
Photograph belongs to Gregory Crewdson

 Although this photo doesn't look like it was set up, it was. Lights are being rigger, props are wing positioned and actor taking their places.

'I worked with a production crew that all come out of a film. We work with cinematic lighting but we are only after creating one single perfect moment' - Gregory Crewdson

I have put a short documentary on Gregory Crewdson work off youtube, it does not belong to the link to the website above.
