PHOTOGRAPHY
Why do tourists take photographs when they are on holiday?Ìý What kind of images do they choose to take?Ìý How much are they about reflecting our real experiences, and to what extent are even ‘natural snapshots’ posed?
Laurie Taylor asks Jonas Larsen, who has written a study on Performing Tourist Photography, what holiday photos are for, and what role they play in preserving our memories for the future.
Then, getting to grips with the family photo album.Ìý What do our poses and pictures tell us about ourselves?
To discuss the motivations and meanings that lie behind the camera lens, Laurie Taylor is joined by the distinguished photographer and collector of boring postcards, Martin Parr, and writer and artist David Campany.
