"We Are Here" by David Campany, Martin Parr,
Anna Pavord and others
TATE ETC. Issue 10 Summer 2007
Since Joseph Nicéphore Niépce made the first photograph of
his neighbour’s building in 1826, this mechanical art has transformed the
way we look at the world. To coincide with Tate Britain’s photographic
survey of Britain’s social history, Tate Etc. asked a selection of writers,
curators and photographers to reflect on some memorable images.

In the Studio: Martin Parr
Since the 1970s, Martin Parr has photographed aspects of British life, documenting and
dissecting the way we live with a witty, unblinking eye. On the eve of Tate Britain's
exhibition 'How We Are: Photographing Britain' Parr met us at his London studio to
talk about his work.
