During his long career as a photographer, Martin Parr has always
photographed on beaches, particularly in the UK. He has often used
the beach as a laboratory to experiment with new cameras and
techniques. So far example, when he changed from black and white to
medium format colour in the early 80s his first major project was
about New Brighton, a run down seaside resort near Liverpool. In
recent months he has started exploring the beach with the aid of a
telephoto lens. This lens is rarely used in the world of art and
documentary photography so it is a challenge to find new ways of
using it. Often this involves incorporating the vegetation on the
perimeter with the beach as a backdrop, both in and out of focus.
So over his long career he has tried everything from a close up
macro lens, a medium format wide angled camera and finally this
latest offering with the telephoto.
