MARTIN PARR

“At first glance his photographs seem exaggerated and grotesque”

Martin’s work is strongly known for the quote above. He invades the space of the public and takes images that can seem very insulting or upsetting to the subject that was used in the image.

Propaganda! Parr counters this propaganda by using criticism, seduction and humor (though not seen for some) in his images.

His photographers all had the aim of showing to viewers how we live, how we present ourselves to others and what we value in . All this is presented in his photographs in a original manner.
