Martin Parr

'England, Liverpool'
Having spent a time capturing images of the rundown buildings that I found most fascinating in Liverpool, I was very excited to see some of Martin Parr's work in the Tate. This image stood out for me. The architecture and setting in this photo was just what I had been so impressed by whilst roaming the city. The contrasting mood created by the little girl has such a strong impact and gives the image an incredibly strong emotive quality.
