Martin Parr

Parr at the [[V&A]] in 2024 Martin Parr (23 May 1952 – 6 December 2025) was an English documentary photographer, photojournalist and photobook collector. He was known for his photographic projects that take an intimate, satirical and anthropological look at aspects of modern life, in particular documenting the social classes of England, and more broadly the wealth of the Western world.

His major projects were rural communities (1975–1982), ''The Last Resort'' (1983–1985), ''The Cost of Living'' (1987–1989), ''Small World'' (1987–1994) and ''Common Sense'' (1995–1999).

Since 1994, Parr had been a member of Magnum Photos. He had around 60 solo photobooks published, and had featured in around 90 exhibitions worldwide – including the international touring exhibition ''ParrWorld'', and a retrospective at the Barbican Arts Centre, London, in 2002.

The Martin Parr Foundation, founded in 2015, and registered as a charity in 2015 opened premises in his hometown of Bristol in 2017. It houses his personal archive, his collection of British and Irish photography by other photographers, and a gallery. Provided by Wikipedia
