A Look-See for tonight - Martin Parr @ AboveGroup


I'm missing this (extreme sad face) but you don't have to. Do yourself a humongo favour and head across to Above Group Space for their Show & Tell with photog. Martin Parr. It starts at 7:30 pm, at their Fernandez Compound studio, Trinidad.

This guy does the most phenomenal, kitschy, tongue-in-cheek shots; his 'Fashion' photography is done in such an off-the-cuff, unexpected way, that you don't actually look at the clothing, but at the composition and the context of the image.

She's a gazelle compared to that teeny, tiny Jockey, and it makes her ensemble seem almost mawkish! And it's his knack for creating interesting juxtapositions within his imagery that makes this Martin Parr Show & Tell so worth a look-see.
