    Martin Parr’s Evocative Ode to Scotland – Feature Shoot

    In the title of his newest book from Damiani, Martin Parr suggests: Think of Scotland – and what comes to mind? Perhaps it is the wail of bagpipes held by men donning rich plaid kilts or visions of medieval castles lay in ruins sitting nobly on distant isles. Maybe you see fields of heather spread across the moor, under blue grey skies from which featherlike rain softly falls. Or maybe you dream of Mary Queen of Scots, walking to her death, defiantly disrobing to reveal a velvet petticoat and sleeves in crimson-brown, the color of martyrdom.

    The title of Martin Parr’s newest photography book, “Real Food,” which is out from Phaidon this month, makes it sound like the manifesto of a clean-eating, weight-dropping, soul-lifting life-style guru. But the photos in Parr’s collection have no resemblance to the aspirational-rustic stylings that dominate food photography today

    A Conversation with Martin Parr

    When I try a new technique, I always do it first on the beach. There are about six phases of my photography career, black and white, then wide angle with medium format, etc., etc., but I always try them out on the beach first because it’s like an experimental laboratory for me. You have all these people, you can do different things, so this is no exception. It is really like the last chapter of exploration. So inevitably, therefor, I begin at the beach first.
