Martin Parr

This photo by Parr is a depiction of identity through iconic trademarks of society and era as a like are all of his pieces. The reason why I was drawn to this photo and chose to analyse it is because it has a strong message behind it. From the immediate offset u can identity that the image consists of a delicate china tea cup, tea inside it and a pattented surface mat. Clearly this image serves time capsule for 19..0's Britain and carries with it much character. Judging by the bold striking colours of the red, white and blue of the image it seems almost a strong decision for the composition of the items to be these colours as they reflect back on the colours of the union jack.
