Taken with a telephoto lens the perfect composition and framing make for a photographic gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenby is a harbour town and resort in Wales, where Martin has a holiday house so this is a special place for him. Martin also loves the beach – over the course of Parr’s career, no subject has occupied him more comprehensively, or more consistently, than the countless small things that make Britain what it is. He probes the clichés of British life giving them fresh consideration… this is a quintessential British scene, but one which many could relate to – simple things in life, nostalgic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin has recently started experimenting with a telephoto lens to photograph from long distances, particularly at the beach. This not only enables him to photograph completely unobserved, but also to explore new ways of graphically organizing space. A photographic gem – the formal composition, the perfect framing of the scene, the figures bottom left on the edge of the frame and top right. A quick capture with the telephoto lens and he didn’t know at the time that it would be so great.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artspace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46886929170532,"sku":"9781838660000","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/5292\/6820\/files\/9781838660000_d314f1a8-cfa7-462c-beca-28b0b1ef93bf.jpg?v=1768453581","url":"https:\/\/www.phaidon.com\/en-us\/products\/tenby-wales","provider":"Phaidon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
