Martin parr is a chronicler and at first sight his photos seem exaggerated and ugly however he is actually portraying how we live, leisure and communication between one another is what a lot of photographers try to capture but Parr does it in a specific way that allows the viewer to see the peculiarities within ourselves, and as you can see from the photos above this is exactly what he's done, especially with he photo on the right, its a perfect demonstration of a crazy individual.
This is my recreation of Parr's work, as you can see I have a middle aged woman in recently streetwear clothing and a skateboard with some vibrant trousers. I was trying to capture the contrast between age because its unusual to see an older woman on a skateboard and it focuses on the peculiarities just like parr did. I shot this on 35mm and if i was to go back id focus more of the depth of field as I feel this image is a bit blurry, however it followed the conventions.
