Episode Synopsis
Season 3 Episode 17 - The Last Resort & Why I Bought A Hammerhead
Today’s episode explores the inspiration & challenge of Martin Parr’s The Last Resort - his brilliant collection of 6X7 photographs highlighting 1980s vacationers on a rundown New Brighton Beach. Shot with a Plaubel Makina rangefinder, daylight flash, highly saturated color film - and an impeccable use of Magnum-style composition - his enduring work poses both technical & artistic questions: How did he possibly pull off these perfect photos?
Also on board: birding/surfing pics, the elusive search for a long lens that one could actually afford, renting the Nikkor 200-500mm.
Topics: Martin Parr, The Last Resort, Hammerhead flash, SunPak, Metz, Nikkor 200-500, Lensrentals.com, Magnum, Henri-Cartier Bresson, Atlantic City
