Children's Parties and Fetes
Village fetes, school fairs, birthday parties in public.
The British village fete is Parr's natural habitat. Document it - the coconut shy, the Victoria sponge competition, the tombola.
How to shoot it: The village fete is Parr country, so shoot in colour and look for the gap between the effort and the result, the limp bunting, the fierce competition over a Victoria sponge. Work the stalls, the games, the judging, the tea tent. Photograph children only with clear parental consent, and favour wide, good-humoured scenes. Flash in daylight lifts the whole thing into comedy.
The output: A very British series.
Flash in daylight for the Parr treatment.
