As part of We Are All Photographers Now! at Musée de l’Elysée, Martin Parr took part ‘round table’ discussion about photography. The talk was then posted on the WAAPN blog:
[Martin Parr] explains how your family photography is form of propaganda, his opinion on technique, what his new agenda is, the demise of Corbis and Getty at the hands of Flickr and what the best new business model for successful photography is. And how dreadful, cliche’ed and boring a lot of amateur photography is.
At the round table:
William Ewing, Director, Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne (you may know him as the curator of reGeneration)
Radu Stern, Head of Educationnal Programs, Musée de l’Elysée, Lausanne
Val Williams, Professor, LCC, Angleterre
Fred Ritchin, Professor, NYU, Etats-Unis
André Gunthert, Maître de conférence EHESS et Rédacteur en chef de Etudes photographiques, Paris
Luc Debraine, Journalist, Le Temps, Geneva
Jonathan Lipkin, Professor of Digital Media, Ramapo College, author, New Jersey
