Martin Parr was a decades long constant in photography who was known for his super saturated, contrasty images, both literally and metaphorically. Awarded a CBE in 2021, which for non-UK listeners is rather a big deal, and the subject of a beautiful documentary in 2024, I wanted to remember Martin who for me is up there with other British cultural icons like Vivienne Westwood, David Bowie and Alexander McQueen. When we think of British cultural exports it's safe to say Martin's work will be remembered along with Paul Smith, Monty Python, Doctor Who, The Beatles and the Mini Cooper. More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

"It's a weird combination that makes a great picture. It's a complete mystery to me." -- Alec Soth "A portrait isn't a fact but an opinion—an occasion rather than a truth." -- Richard Avedon   In this episode, Antonio and Ward reflect on the recent passing of Martin Parr, talking through what they've long admired about his work, his move from black-and-white to color, his time at Magnum, and the way he photographed everyday life without smoothing out its edges. The conversation also drifts into a new idea Antonio picked up by accident at a Christmas market in Nebraska, where he connected with a nonprofit that helps formerly incarcerated people train for work in professional kitchens. He talks about why that idea stuck with him and how he's imagining photographing the space—both behind the scenes and through more formal portraits made in the kitchen itself. Speed skating becomes another thread, with Ward unpacking his weekend shooting a World Cup event in Calgary. Autofocus frustrations, missed shots, and the value of reviewing a rough first day all lead to a shift toward slower shutter speeds and motion-based images that felt more honest than frozen action frames. The episode also circles back to their previous conversation with motorsports photographer Jamey Price, offering a clearer recap of some of the racing terms and technical references that came up, grounding the discussion for listeners who may not live in that world.   Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

In this special episode Grant shares his personal memories of photographer Martin Parr and reflects on his influence on contemporary documentary photography. Martin Parr Born in Epsom, Surrey, Parr wanted to become a documentary photographer from the age of fourteen and cited his grandfather, George Parr, an amateur photographer and fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, as an early influence. However, it was not until he was introduced to the work of Tony Ray Jones by Creative Camera and Album editor and writer Bill Jay (www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd47549knOU&t=74s) at a talk whilst Parr was studying photography at Manchester Polytechnic that he identified how his career as a photographer would develop within documentary practice. Parr studied photography at Manchester Polytechnic from 1970 to 1973 with contemporaries Daniel Meadows and Brian Griffin.  Parr and Meadows collaborated on various projects,including working at Butlin's holiday camps as roving photographers. They were part of a new wave of documentary photographers, and the 'New British Photography'. In 1975 Parr moved to Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire where he would complete his first body of work and spent five years photographing rural life in the area. He photographed in black-and-white, creating his series The Non-Conformistswas widely exhibited at the time and published as a book in 2013. In 1980 Parr married Susan Mitchell and, for her work, they moved to the west coast of Ireland where he set up a darkroom in Boyle, County Roscommon. In 1982 they moved to Wallasey, England, and he switched permanently to colour photography. During the summers of 1983, 1984 and 1985 he photographed working-class people at the seaside in nearby New Brighton. This work was published in the book The Last Resort: Photographs of New Brighton (1986) and exhibited in Liverpool and London. He and his wife moved to Bristol in 1987, and he began his next major project, on the middle class, who were at that time becoming increasingly affluent under Thatcherism. He photographed middle-class activities such as shopping, dinner parties and school open days, predominantly around Bristol and Bath which was published as his next book The Cost of Living (1989). Between 1987 and 1994 Parr travelled internationally to make his next major series, a critique of mass tourism, published as Small World in 1995. Between 1995 and 1999 he made the series Common Sense about global consumerism. Common Sense was an exhibition of 350 prints, and a book published in 1999. The exhibition was first shown in 1999 and was staged simultaneously in forty-one venues in seventeen countries. Parr joined Magnum Photos as an associate member in 1988. The vote on his inclusion as a full member in 1994 was divisive, with Philip Jones Griffiths circulating a plea to other members not to admit him. Parr achieved the necessary two-thirds majority by one vote. Alongside his photography he was a passionate collector and critic of photobooks. His collaboration with the critic Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History (in three volumes) covers more than 1,000 examples of photobooks from the 19th century through to the present day. The first two volumes took eight years to complete. The Martin Parr Foundation was founded in 2014 and opened in Bristol in 2017. The Foundation houses Parr's own archive, and his collection of prints and book dummies made by other photographers—mainly British and Irish photography, and work by several photographers from abroad who have photographed in the UK. There is a gallery open to the public—its first exhibition was Parr's Black Country Stories —and it is a hub for talks, screenings and events. Parr was the Foundation's main source of income. He was diagnosed with cancer in May 2021, and died at his home in Bristol on 6 December 2025. https://martinparr.com ©Grant Scott 2025

"Environ 80 % du soja mondial est produit par trois pays qui alimentent le reste du monde : le Brésil, les États-Unis et l'Argentine." Néanmoins, cette croissance a des impacts directs sur le dérèglement climatique : déforestation, usage intensif de pesticides… Pour éclairer davantage la situation, Olivier Antoine, géopolitologue et expert des matières premières agricoles publie "Géopolitique du soja" (éditions Armand Colin). Il est notre invité ce soir.Le monde selon Trump : une rupture historique avec l'Europe ? Dans un document publié dans la nuit du 4 au 5 décembre, l'administration Trump a dévoilé sa nouvelle “stratégie de sécurité nationale”. Un exercice habituel pour chaque nouvelle administration américaine. Mais cette fois-ci, le document de 33 pages consacre un chapitre entier particulièrement critique à l'égard de l'Europe. Il y dénonce notamment les “valeurs européennes” et soutient la théorie selon laquelle le Vieux continent est confronté à un “effacement civilisationnel” dû à l'immigration. L'administration dénonce également “la censure de la liberté d'expression” ou encore la “perte des identités nationales”. En février dernier, à l'occasion d'un discours à la Conférence de Munich sur la sécurité, en Allemagne, le vice-président J.D. Vance avait longuement critiqué la politique de l'Union européenne. Un discours offensif qui va dans la continuité de la nouvelle politique américaine et qui scelle encore un peu plus la rupture entre les deux alliés historiques.On en débat avec Florian Louis, historien des relations internationales, Adina Revol, essayiste, ancienne porte-parole de la Commission européenne en France (2021-2024) et Max-Erwann Gastineau, géopolitologue, membre du comité éditorial de la “Nouvelle Revue Politique”. Enfin, Xavier Mauduit revient sur l'invention de l'écriture braille en 1825 par Louis Braille.

L'émission 28 minutes du 03/11/2025 Martin Parr tire le portrait de la société britannique comme personnePhotographe documentaire britannique de renommée mondiale, Martin Parr publie sa première autobiographie "Complètement paresseux et étourdi" (éditions Michel Lafon), qui raconte sa vie en 150 photos. Haute en couleur, l'autobiographie dépeint bien le style unique et authentique du photographe. Animé par les portraits de rue, il dresse celui de l'Angleterre en photographiant les diverses classes sociales avant de tirer celui du monde. Il est notre invité de ce soir. Serbie : entre Europe et Russie, un pays au bord de la bascule ? 16 minutes de silence ont été respectées le 1er novembre 2025 en Serbie, pour les 16 personnes tuées dans l'accident de la gare de Novi Sad. Ils sont au moins 100 000, selon les chiffres de l'AFP, à être descendus dans la rue pour rendre hommage aux défunts. Un an auparavant, 14 personnes ont trouvé la mort après que le auvent de la gare de Novi Sad se soit effondré. Deux blessés ont ensuite succombé à leurs blessures après l'accident. Cette tragédie est, depuis, devenue le symbole d'une année de révolte en Serbie. Menés par les étudiants, les mouvements protestataires sont présents dans tout le pays et les revendications sont nombreuses. Toutes dénoncent un régime politique corrompu et réclament des élections législatives anticipées. Réponse du président serbe, Aleksandar Vucic, qui déclare envisager des élections anticipées sans donner de date précise pour autant. Coincée entre la Russie et l'Europe, la Serbie est-elle un élément de stabilité ou au contraire de déstabilisation dans les Balkans ?Et enfin, Xavier Mauduit s'enfonce dans les Catacombes de Paris pour nous dévoiler l'histoire de ce musée avant qu'il ne soit fermé pour rénovation. Marie Bonnisseau s'intéresse aux emojis, trompeurs, qu'envoient les parents à leurs enfants, souvent source d'incompréhensions plus où moins amusantes. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

London-based photographer and writer Michael Collins talks about: The flat where he's lived for 35 years, which is getting ‘Wallace & Gromit' crowded; how he keeps film in his deep freeze (aka freezer) as opposed to anything edible, and how he's happy to shop for the day, while he points out that Brits see American refrigerators and are overwhelmed by how large they are; and by the way, we're also bludgeoned by advertising here, compared with the UK and Europe; how he sees our social media consumption as giving in to the impulsive at the expense of the rational, a battle he gives in to daily for a half hour on IG…and how sometimes, you just want to look at a panda falling out of a tree; why readers (of books) make better viewers of artworks; how when his photographs are printed at full scale (4 x 5 feet) you can walk into them and how part of photography's schtick is that it's nosy, that it admits everything in it; his takeaways from giving a presentation at the Hampstead Photographic Society, in which have the members bolted for the door at the break; the importance of 19th century photography to understanding the history of photography, and how it's not shown enough in museums (at least in London); how he started studying politics, but switched over to art, initially stumbling into photography as an editor at a teenage girl's magazine, then moving to The Observer, and then he became picture editor at the Daily Telegraph, where he realized, amidst a more rushed editorial structure that went with predictable stock photographers, that the most interesting photography was not there to fulfill another's agenda, but in pursuit of independence, to fulfill its own agenda.  This podcast relies on listener support; please consider becoming a Patreon supporter of the podcast, for as little as $1/month, here: https://www.patreon.com/theconversationpod In the 2nd half of our conversation (available on Patreon), Michael talks about: The challenges of evolving and following your own path at the expense of taking the more marketable route, which means maintaining your integrity, and how his photographs, and his writing are both better than ever; the complex and fulfilling experience he had visiting and re-visiting a Jeff Wall museum exhibition; how the photographer Martin Parr dominates the scene in Britain, and how all his pictures look roughly the same, and yet he's kind of this hero in the country, through the ‘steamroll of publicity,' and how there's far more depth, wealth and nuance out there than we're being allowed…; his first art review (for The Daily Telegraph), of Andreas Gursky's exhibition at Tate Liverpool, which uncovered a surprising digital edit, one he was turned on to by one of the museum custodians, and when he wrote the review that included his misgivings about the work, the Tate press office told him he was being cruel (to which he replied, “that's not being cruel, that's being honest”), and how another artist's agent threatened to sue for a negative review; our respective takes on art writing and criticism, in terms of what he appreciates vs. can't tolerate, and what I appreciate and can't tolerate; more about the world of magazine editing, which he describes as being a lifetime ago…; and finally, to wind down our conversation, we talk about his book, Blind Corners, which features several essays exploring across the spectrum of photography and photography's history; in particular we review a passage where he compares Americana via Kodachrome and Hollywood light with the dull, austere light of Britain, and he goes on to call out Dubai as the culmination of late capitalism.

We explore the unique journey of these two brothers who have dedicated over a decade to capturing the essence of urban life through their lens.Gavin and Gareth share their fascinating backstory, revealing how they both stumbled into photography after initially pursuing music. Their journey began in Edinburgh, where they discovered street photography through a documentary that highlighted iconic photographers like Henry Cartier-Bresson and Martin Parr. This revelation sparked their passion for capturing spontaneous moments in their everyday surroundings.The brothers discuss their creative process, emphasising how they often shoot together, despite the challenges posed by Gareth's health issues. We delve into their distinctive style, characterised by surreal use of flash, shadow, and blur, which they developed as a response to the often grey and dark environment of Edinburgh. They recount how a simple thrift store flash gun led to a breakthrough image that garnered positive feedback and set them on their current path.Throughout the conversation, we touch on the importance of local influences in their work, highlighting how fellow photographers in Edinburgh inspired their approach. They also candidly discuss the challenges of working together as brothers, the dynamics of their creative partnership, and how they navigate disagreements without letting them affect their relationship.The episode takes a poignant turn as Gareth opens up about his battle with Lyme disease, which has significantly impacted his life and photography. He shares how the passion for photography has provided him with a sense of purpose and a way to cope with his health struggles. Join us for this inspiring episode filled with laughter, heartfelt stories, and a deep appreciation for the art of street photography.

Ferdinando Scianna"Mare Magnum"Da Ferdinando Scianna a Martin Parr. I fotografi Magnum e le spiaggeFerdinando Scianna, Riccione, 1989Fino al 05 Ottobre 2025Riccione | RiminiLuogo: Villa MussoliniCatalogo mostra: Silvana EditorialeCuratore: Andréa Holzherrhttp://www.civita.art“Da fotografo è soprattutto questo che mi ha affascinato delle spiagge: la vanità, l'esibizione, lo specchio sociale, le relazioni umane, la volgarità, il gioco dei corpi, il rito di massa. Ho fotografato spiagge dappertutto: lo spettacolo era sempre assicurato.” Ferdinando SciannaIl mare e la spiaggia, simboli di evasione e libertà, si trasformano in palcoscenico per una straordinaria nuova e inedita mostra fotografica: MARE MAGNUM. Da Ferdinando Scianna a Martin Parr. I fotografi Magnum e le spiagge, che sarà allestita dal 19 aprile al 5 ottobre 2025 negli spazi espositivi di Villa Mussolini, a Riccione.Curata da Andréa Holzherr, organizzatrice di progetti espostivi internazionali e responsabile della promozione dell'Archivio Magnum, la mostra presenta le opere di otto grandi fotografi dell'agenzia Magnum Photos: Ferdinando Scianna, Bruno Barbey, Bruce Gilden, Harry Gruyaert, Trent Parke, Olivia Arthur, Newsha Tavakolian e Martin Parr.Attraverso gli obiettivi di questi grandi maestri della fotografia internazionale, il pubblico potrà esplorare le molteplici sfaccettature della vita in spiaggia: momenti di felicità e gioco si alternano a istanti di isolamento e riflessione, dando vita a un racconto visivo che svela la condizione umana in uno scenario universale.Riccione, che ha già ospitato in questi ultimi anni le mostre di alcuni dei più grandi maestri della fotografia, da Elliott Erwitt a Steve McCurry, da Robert Capa a André Kertesz e Henry Lartigue, diventa oggi il crocevia ideale di queste visioni, il luogo in cui le spiagge di tutto il mondo, ritratte dai fotografi Magnum, trovano una nuova e suggestiva dimensione. Qui, in questa mostra, i mari lontani dialogano con il mare Adriatico, le immagini raccolte in angoli diversi del pianeta si intrecciano con la storia e l'identità di una città che da sempre vive il rapporto con il mare come elemento essenziale della sua cultura. Con Mare Magnum, Riccione si trasforma in un crocevia culturale, dove le fotografie dei più grandi maestri della Magnum fissano per sempre le suggestioni, le contraddizioni e la bellezza delle spiagge di tutto il mondo. Non è un caso che la città abbia scelto di candidare la propria spiaggia a Patrimonio Immateriale dell'UNESCO: la sua tradizione di accoglienza e condivisione rende questo il contesto ideale per un racconto visivo che attraversa luoghi, epoche e sensibilità diverse, trovando qui una sintesi unica e significativa. Riccione, la Perla Verde dell'Adriatico, è da sempre crocevia di sguardi e suggestioni, e proprio qui, in questo luogo dove il mare ha una sua intimità profonda e accogliente – quel Mare Adriatico che Predrag Matvejević ha definito il mare dell'intimità – prende vita Mare Magnum, una mostra che trova in questo contesto il suo respiro più autentico. Perché se ogni spiaggia racconta una storia, è a Riccione che queste storie si incontrano, si fondono e si rivelano in tutta la loro potenza espressiva.La genesi di questa esposizione nasce da un dialogo creativo tra il Comune di Riccione, Civita Mostre e Musei, Magnum Photos e Rjma Progetti Culturali, un incontro di visioni che ha permesso di portare a Riccione un progetto espositivo unico e ambizioso. Mare Magnum si inserisce perfettamente nel tessuto di questa città, che da sempre intreccia il suo legame con il mare e la sua capacità di accogliere storie provenienti da ogni angolo del mondo. La fotografia, in questo contesto, diventa uno strumento privilegiato per esplorare le molteplici sfumature della vita in spiaggia, attraverso un racconto visivo che non conosce confini.Il mare non è solo un orizzonte geografico, ma una dimensione che appartiene all'anima. Come scrive l'autore romagnolo Fabio Fiori, «la spiaggia è un diario di sabbia su cui ogni onda scrive e cancella storie», un luogo di continua trasformazione dove ogni passaggio lascia traccia e, al contempo, si rinnova, come la risacca che modella incessantemente la riva. È proprio questo respiro, fatto di attimi fugaci e gesti che la fotografia riesce a rendere eterni, a nutrire l'esposizione. Le immagini raccolte dai grandi maestri della Magnum creano un legame profondo con l'immaginario di Riccione, facendo di questa mostra una riflessione universale sulla condizione umana, raccontata attraverso il paesaggio marino e la sua ineluttabile capacità di trasformare ogni incontro in una storia unica e irripetibile.La mostra prende vita in un luogo emblematico, Villa Mussolini, un punto di osservazione privilegiato sul mare, che, con la sua posizione, permette di godere della vista su quello che è considerato uno dei più bei terrazzi sull'Adriatico, creando una perfetta sintonia con l'anima della mostra e il legame che la città ha da sempre con il mare.La spiaggia è da tempo un soggetto interessante nella fotografia, in quanto palcoscenico perfetto per la grande “commedia umana”, che si riflette nel mare, eterno e impassibile. Sotto un vasto cielo indifferente, le persone vanno e vengono come attori di uno spettacolo senza fine. Quello che i fotografi trovano sulla spiaggia è il genere di spontaneità, libertà ed emozioni intense che raramente si possono trovare altrove. La spiaggia spoglia le persone, sia fisicamente che psicologicamente, dei normali strati di vita quotidiana. Quando ci si toglie i vestiti, ci si libera anche di alcune inibizioni sociali.Nel corso della storia, i fotografi di Magnum hanno catturato la spiaggia in modi sorprendentemente diversi, riflettendo sia i momenti culturali che le esperienze umane senza tempo. Che sia a colori o in bianco e nero, che ritragga gioia, solitudine o la sublime potenza della natura, la fotografia di spiaggia continua a essere un tema ricco ed evocativo, invitando gli spettatori a vedere la riva non solo come una destinazione, ma come una tela per l'espressione visiva.La mostra è promossa dal Comune di Riccione, con il patrocinio della Regione Emilia - Romagna e organizzata da Civita Mostre e Musei in collaborazione con Magnum Photos e Rjma Progetti Culturali.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
