Summary

Martin Parr CBE (born 23 May 1952) is a British documentary photographer, photojournalist, and photobook collector. He is known for his photographic projects, which take an intimate, satirical, and anthropological look at aspects of modern life. He particularly documents the social classes of England and, more broadly, the wealth of the Western world. Since 1994, Parr has been a member of Magnum Photos. He has published around 40 solo photobooks and been featured in around 80 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 2014 and registered as a charity in 2015, opened premises in his hometown of Bristol in 2017.

0:51.7	that's familiar and close to home can have a significant impact anywhere
