Martin Parr
Martin Parr was born 23th May 1952, he is a British documentary photographer, photojournalist and also a phonebook collector. He creates very different images and projects which have an intimate look on the aspects of modern life, most of his pieces and photo projects will convey an image across, he also conveys the image of the wealth of the Western World. He has made projects such as 'The Last Resort (1983-85),'The Cost of Living' (1987-89), and also 'Small World' (1995-99).
I have chosen these images as they show some examples of Martin Parr's work and photography.
Martin Parr has create around 40 phonebooks which have features in around 80 exhibitions around the world, he also has his own touring exhibition call ParrWorld. During a very young age he always wanted to become a documentary photographer. His work and photography is very unique and different from all the other photographer, unlike many photographers, each piece of work has a meaning and a name to it.
The images below are some of his famous work pieces.
