In this Sofa Session Martin Parr is in conversation with fellow Magnum photographer Mark Power
They discuss how finding his father's enlarger in the loft first opened up a world of photography, how a fortuitous trip led to Mark being at the cutting edge of history as the Berlin wall came down and how his photographs of construction projects started with a commission to record the Millennium Dome
They discuss 'The Shipping Forecast' project in detail, touching on the romanticism of the sea, working in a square format and how Mark visited all the shipping areas. Signed copies of the book are available from the MPF bookshop: www.martinparrfoundation.org/...
Produced by the Martin Parr Foundation.

I'm a graduate of MA Photography programme at Uni. of Brighton and at the time (2010-11), Mark Power was one of our professors. After a feedback session, he gave me the exact advice McCullin had given him years before: Work in your own country. I was 24 at the time and as much as I was aware of the importance of telling our own stories, I didn't know the advice actually had its roots deep down in him, too. Although Power was already a well established artist and an overall great photographer back then, he still is only a few of those who managed to got better and better and better within the years. I believe he's still massively underrated.

My Gran had a photo of buddhist monks in Tibet on her wall in a traditional English house that Mark had given to her. That made quite an impact with me. There’s some great integrity that somehow runs through his work.

It is great that the interview has been not only informative but also educational. We hope that the films are able to not only share new views but to help people better understand their own practice and the wider community too

Another awesome interview, thanks so much. I recently took a trip to Europe and although not the reason for visiting UK, going to the foundation was high on my list. I had the privilege of meeting Martin and the team in Bristol, who could not have been nicer to me and my friends. I was able to to tell Martin exactly as @pitmanra said below, how good Martin is at interviewing allowing his subjects to speak. To be honest I feel privileged to meet a true inspiration. Thank you so much to the whole team for the brilliant work. Keith (HK)

Thank you so much for visiting @blackcygnus3177, great to hear that you had a good time. Being able to reach a wider audience is one of the primary aims of the sofa sessions. Having the chance to meet that audience and to share the collection and exhibitions at the foundations is a great benefit. We really encourage other online viewers to visit when they can and it is the icing on the cake for us when people hear about the Foundation and take the time to visit and share their thoughts.
Colour in photography - you either make use of it or you get rid of it
