In this Sofa Session Martin Parr is in conversation with fellow Magnum photographer Mark Power

They discuss how finding his father's enlarger in the loft first opened up a world of photography, how a fortuitous trip led to Mark being at the cutting edge of history as the Berlin wall came down and how his photographs of construction projects started with a commission to record the Millennium Dome

They discuss 'The Shipping Forecast' project in detail, touching on the romanticism of the sea, working in a square format and how Mark visited all the shipping areas. Signed copies of the book are available from the MPF bookshop: https://www.martinparrfoundation.org/...
