Actually, I don't think Martin Parr was writing about (most of) us, though his wording is a bit ambiguous.
He says
The Fine Art and Documentary photographers take great pride in thinking themselves superior to the others ... family ... amateur ... camera club. ... I have come to the conclusion that we too are fairly predictable in what we photograph.
I include myself in this...
So, he's not criticising us ordinary mortals in that piece, but the Elite group that he belongs to. We are expected to be cliched; THEY should be more original.
Discuss.
