He tends to look at the different aspects of modern life. This is mostly documenting the social classes of England, and more broadly the wealth of the Western world (the Third World Countries).
His aesthetic:
Parr tends to do close-up photography through a macro lens. He employs saturated colour, which can either be the result of either the type of film that he uses or the use of a ring flash. This allows him to have his subjects shown close up or put under the microscope. He shows his subjects in their own environment, giving them space to expose their lives and values to the camera in ways that often involve in-adverted humour (humour that is not intended).

4- what happens when you apply analysis to the formula
5- how does the photographer use photographic elements. The photographer uses composition and in this photograph and I think this is because he wants to bring the viewers attention to the little girl that is covered in makeup and looks like the older woman.
6- I think there could be a significance to this and could be what the the young girl is aspiring to be when she is older or it could be foreshadowing what she will be like when she is older.
7- How does the Photographers work link to the theme of identity? Martin Parr's work links to the theme of identity as it the the photo could be the identity of a mother and daughter for an aunt and niece. However, it could also represent the younger girls identity as this is what she is aspiring to be.
