Martin Parr ...

Martin Parr was born in Epsom, Surrey, UK, in 1952. When he was a boy, his budding interesting the medium  of photography was encouraged by his grandfather George Parr, himself a keen amateur photographer. Martin Parr studied photography at Manchester polytechnic, from 1970 to 1973. Since that time, Martin Parr has worked on numerous photographic projects. He has developed an international reputation for his innovative imagery, his oblique approach to social documentary, and his input to photographic culture within the UK and also abroad. In 1994 he became a full member of Magnum Photographic Corporation. In recent years, he has developed an interest in film-making, and has started to use his photography within different conventions, such as fashion and advertising. 

Martin Parr is a chronicler of our age. In the face of the constantly growing flood of images released by the media, his photographs offer us the opportunity to see the world from his unique perspective. Martin Parr is involved in so much to do with the media. He has published many books, many films that he has created himself and then he has got the photographs on which he takes as well. below is a print screen of all of the galleries which we has got which are spread widely across parts of the world.

One of the pieces of work which Martin Parr produced was when the Royal Wedding was happening and he captured what the celebrations were like in the black country. The photographs which i like are very simple because they look like the type of photographs that anybody could take but that's what Martin Parr's work is like, he prefers the simple things in life which shows everything better. Below are six photographs which i really like because it captures the fun which everyone had on the day and how all neighbors came together as one to celebrate which is how it would have been back in the old days.

Another series which Martin Parr has created, This series is called Common Sense which is one of the best series of work i think he has done, it shows normal every day things happening and he has photographed them exactly how they are.

To look at these photographs i really really like them because of how strange and unusual they are because there not the type of things that you would go ooo that would look good as a photograph but in Martin Parrs' case it does because i really like the composition of his work and it really draws you in to get a closer look at what the photo represents.
