General info :
Martin Parr (born 23 May 1952, Epsom, Surrey, England - died 6 December 2025, Bristol, England (aged 73)) ) was a British 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.

Parr was diagnosed with cancer in May 2021, and died at his home in Bristol on 6 December 2025.
