Introduction;
The meaning of a work of art, media or design may or may not change depending on the audience viewing the object. The object will not change in appearance, but will the perception?

I will do this by discussing the intent of the directors, photographers and artists to gain full information of why the creator first intended to create and did it fulfill the reason. Also I will research some of the world’s most famous well known mediums and what makes them an important part of todays society and can we as the public really commit to liking them because they are our personal taste and opinion or do we enjoy them because of the background and intent of the creator, or maybe just because they are famous.

Martin Parr’s work presents the viewers and the audience with images that represent the place and the atmosphere with in them, the pictures maybe basic but beautifully captured, the intent of the pictures are not hidden nor do you have to look in depth for any meaning (bibliography of photo’s). This may be a good attribute about his work or a negative one, depending on the viewer. In one of Martin Parrs books
