Borough Market, London
Borough Market, London
Martin Parr has photographed here. That tells you everything. Food, consumption, crowds, money, spectacle. People eating in public. People spending too much on cheese. Tourists photographing things they're about to eat.
Best time: Thursday to Saturday, late morning.
Look for: the eating. Close up, unglamorous, genuine. The expression when someone sees the price.
Camera Settings
Flash in daylight for the Parr look. Get close.
The Assignment
Go at peak time. Photograph people eating, not the food.
