Great interview. Thank you. I’m currently finalising my BA Photography project focussing on a historic cobbled street that, in 2024, is full of people eating ice cream. The work of Martin Parr and Hans Enjkelboom has really inspired my approach for the project so seeing them have this discussion is fascinating. 🙏
This was great and I did not know he was in Brazil, sad that I lost the opportunity to see it.
Very glad you enjoyed it @Magnum. Hopefully you can find another opportunity soon to see his work.
@@MartinParrFDN I hope so!
Thank you for this interview. Very interesting, and reminded me of the work of Vivian Maier, who used the top-down viewfinder Rollei, for her candid street photography. Most of the new digital cameras have straight viewfinders making the action of photo-taking more obvious. Also, I think we have lost something with fewer low-level shots. But this is excellent work.
@NickRichardson do you think it is just about how obvious a photographer is with the use of a downward viewfinder? If you see the image of Diane Arbus photographing in the park the large flash and camera is pretty obvious but the photos benefit from a top-down viewfinder giving a low and intimate angle to view the subject from. What else do we get from changing the angle from which a photo is taken?
@@MartinParrFDN I think it subtly changes the relationship between photographer and subject. Less invasive, but also the lower viewpoint puts less emphasis on the head [ in the case of a portrait] and gives the full image more equality.
