Martin Parr
Martin Parr CBE is a British documentary photographer who has been shooting for over five decades. Sometimes controversial, the perspectives of his images can be exaggerated and the colours garish.

The Martin Parr Foundation was opened in Bristol, UK in 2014 to house Martin’s archives and support emerging, established and overlooked photographers.
