Love this style of photo so much.
It's a staged look. How is it achieved? Is it the lighting? Do you just have to get lucky with the people? Is it the lens or the position/height of the photographer (Parr). Lack of DOF?All 4 probably.
- if it's martin parr, it's a question of waiting for the right moment. ie timing. or just getting luckyhans_glib
- or take several shots and put them together.pango
- I don't see how this is staged, please explain.deadsperm
- each person was shot individually against a green screen and then comp'ed togetherBluejam
- Bluejam with the facts!
+1deadsperm - doesn't have to be staged.pango
- Stop with them lies, pango!deadsperm
- Shot on overcast day, soft shadows, studio lighting, and tons of patiencerobotron3k
- There's a huge component of luck in that one shot.maquito
- I don’t believe Martin Parr stages his scenes or uses studio lighting. It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to get a shot like this in England.spunji

- Martin Parr is a betting man, don't go down that path.deadsperm
- I'm didn't say it is staged. It just looks staged and was wondering what it was 'technically' about it makes it look staged.Hayzilla

- I don't see anything special/great in the pic... what did I miss?nbq
- Sometimes it's just seeing something and getting i. I shot this through a tiny bathroom window from the 4th floor of an office building: https://flic.kr/p/eG…evilpeacock
- Everything must be in focus, for onedrgs
- Probably a comp of multiple photos. Every group/person is active/emotive creating a vignette like you'd see in an classical paintingmonNom

- multiple shots in placeumbee54
- Vantage point counts for a lot.ben_
- right ben_
He captures shots like these with a long lens. Longer focal lengths compress the composition and can achieve a surreal lack of DOF.jdascher1200 - + decisive momentjdascher1200
- It's not an amazing photograph I just love the shot. I think monNom is right, it's the classical painting look. I also think it's a comp.Hayzilla
- @evilpeacock That's either the smallest 4th floor in the world or you linked the wrong image.Hayzilla
- All i see is a random pic that anyone could have shot with his phoneBennn
- When you shoot on cloudy days it looks like studio lightingrobotron3k
- @Hayzilla Bizzare, that isn't even my photo — I have no idea how I even got the link to that. THIS is my photo... https://flic.kr/p/eG…evilpeacock
- ^Cool pic. I thought house was weird too. Hahafuturefood
- I remember reading interview where Parr would take multiple exposures of scenes then masks away unwanted bits. This gives every subject that same exposure lookfuturefood
- @jd yep, and being slightly but noticeably higher than anyone else's eye level gives a greater sense of it being "staged".ben_
- There's an entire subreddit called "Accidental Renaissance" that has stuff like this all the time. I love the one taken near my office in Manchester.zarb0z

- @bennn you really don’t see anything weird with 20 people totally focused and evenly matched?maquito
- honestly, no. I see a normal scene at the beach. To me, it really look like a total random shot.Bennn
- They're not all totally focused, what are you talking about? Evenly matched how?Khurram
- Wtf is so special about this? Just a bunch of people on a beach on a probably slightly overcast sky. Looks amateurish photo. What am I missing?NBQ00
- it's Art! it look up!
lolpango - I don't get it, pango.NBQ00
- This photo is just dumb.NBQ00
- i stand corrected.pango
