Perhaps one of the most exciting documentary photographers of the century! Martin Parr is a true beacon of inspiration and kooky creativity. Seeing him lecture in Leeds yesterday evening I'm left with a couple of really important lessons learnt!
Parr's creativity comes from who he is and what interests him. By avoiding 'the rules' he has created a unique style and unquestionably wonderful documentation of social class, fashion, style, behavior and the constant pursuit of something better or higher.
This photo from Melbourne in 2008 is just iconic!
