MARTIN PARR

Born: UK 23 May 1952 –

All of Parrs recent work seems to be in colour. He takes very ordinary scenes of ordinary people doing ordinary things, often on holiday where it possible while they are relaxing to catch unguarded moments and these unguarded moments are juxtaposed again ideas more than physical things. He produces a body of work that while candid and street like it contain posed elements he comes both to like Meyerowitz record and evoke a period of time and place.

The subjects that he shoots and the position of classic activities and awkward situations he instantly conveys something that is hard to define Britishness.
