Martin Parr

A “Satirist”.

A documentary photographer.

Satire is an attitude in many of his works.

In the 1980, Martin became famous for publishing a photo album – The Last Resort(1983-1986). At first glance, the picture is bright and warmth. Children with ice cream on their mouths, mother who changes diaper for child, a naked little boy playing in the river, but all the stories happened in New Brighton – a dirty, rundown beachfront resort in the vicinity of Liverpool.

People in the picture flock to contaminated coastlines, east hot dogs and ice cream with artificial colouring. Other people are keen on to photography good side of holiday, but Martin has shot out of the holiday people numb as an idiot.

“This is actually a satire and political complaint. AT that time we were always saying what a good country the United Kingdom is, but when you see these photos, you will find how sad the truth is , people go to such a terrible place to vacation, you see how much garbage.”
