Hey @martinparrfdn Would you agree that men disguising themselves to take secret pics of & #39;prostitutes& #39; (Parr& #39;s words) because they have already refused to be photographed is a safety issue? That women& #39;s concerns for their own safety should be taken seriously?
And that a man who encourages this dangerous and misogynistic way of working should not be a trustee of a charity set up to promote photography?
Do you think the Charity Commission would have an opinion on that?

Parr& #39;s own words:
& #39;It is very exciting to see this new energy and direction. This wonderful set of photos makes a positive contribution to a developing trend& #39;.
Abusive photographic practise towards vulnerable women = & #39;a positive contribution to a developing trend& #39;.

Parr is the artistic director of @BRSphotofest. How is a man who encourages this way of working even allowed near a photo festival? What do the sponsors say? The terrific @tracymarshallE is the director of the festival. She previously worked on @209Women. Problem anyone?

I didn& #39;t want to link to it but a few people have asked so the work and Parr& #39;s intro can be found here. Note the only person the photog looks out for is a driver whose number plate is blurred in this kind of upskirt shot. Women are identifiable: http://txemasalvans.com/work/the-waiting-game/">https://txemasalvans.com/work/the-...
Parr was chair of judges in the @MagnumPhotos comp when they picked photos of a child sex slave about to be gang-raped. To take and distribute a photo like this in the UK would be a criminal offense. But Parr gave her rape on camera an award.
What with kids being raped being in fashion it was unsurprising that the next year the @MagnumPhotos comp used a pic of a brown child being raped to advertise the comp.

The pursuit of women who say no to being photographed is not cunning @martinparrfdn.
It& #39;s predatory.
