Interviewing Martin Parr was a childhood dream. At first, he said no because he didn't feel like doing an interview longer than 30 minutes, so I decided to make an exception. I proposed doing a 30-minute interview and renaming my podcast The Short Way! Believe it or not, he said yes! It's short, but it's good!

Martin Parr is a distinguished British documentary photographer, curator, and filmmaker, known for his vibrant and thought-provoking images. He has been photographing for more than 50 years, capturing the social landscapes and peculiarities of life with a unique and often satirical eye. Based in Bristol, Parr has established the Martin Parr Foundation, which since 2017, has been a hub for celebrating and preserving the works of British and Irish documentary photographers. His foundation also offers a rich program of events, including talks and seminars, fostering a creative community in the vibrant city of Bristol.

In this episode, Parr shares insights into his career, his transition from black and white to color photography in the 1980s, and his perspective on documentary photography as a reflection of his relationship with the world. He discusses the influence of his childhood in Surrey, his approach to photography, and his thoughts on the importance of being authentic in one's work. Parr also touches on various aspects of his career, including his involvement in fashion photography, his views on criticism and social media, and the future of photography as a medium. The conversation delves into his creative process, the challenges of capturing iconic images, and the role of a photographer in society. With his characteristic wit and candor, Martin Parr offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a photographer who continues to be excited by the medium and its possibilities.
