Zed Nelson
Where Parr has gone out to take images without his subjects knowledge Nelson goes out to produce images of people where the model is posed and looking directly at the camera. This gives us a chance to start to consider the relationship between photographer and subject and you also know that the subject has willingly posed for the image.
This typed of posed image seems to be the most popular type of social documentary image and means we can compare images over the generations and get a good understanding of social changes over that period.
Martin Parr
Parr is a world renowned social documentary photographer as you can see from this image he's not in the vain of photographer that likes to pose his models but is more incline to produce image without the subjects knowledge. This makes the poseing of his models very natural to a point and very fluid but also at the same time Parr's images have a emberashing fill too them he is not someone i would like to take my portrait.
