Martin Parr is arguably Britain's key contemporary photographer, with a unique point of view and unmistakable signature, and with a critical and popular following in the spheres of art, fashion and journalism.

He has been widely published and internationally exhibited: he is very well known across Europe and becoming a major figure in the USA.

Books of his photographs include Bad Weather, The Cost of Living (1991), Small World (1995), The Last Resort Photographs of New Brighton (1997) and Think of England (2000).

His first Boring Postcards book for Phaidon (1999) was a massive success, both in England and around the world.
