===Photographer===

Parr has said of his photography:

<blockquote>The fundamental thing I’m exploring constantly is the difference between the mythology of the place and the reality of it.<ref name=”parr-by-parr” />{{rp|57}} … Remember I make serious photographs disguised as entertainment. That’s part of my mantra. I make the pictures acceptable to find the audience but deep down there is actually a lot going on that’s not sharply written in your face. If you want to read it you can read it.<ref name=”parr-by-parr” />{{rp|69,70}}</blockquote>

Line 54: Line 55:

Although [[John Bulmer]] had pioneered colour documentary photography of Britain, from 1965,<ref name=”hamilton”>{{cite journal | last1 = Hamilton | first1 = Peter | year = 2013 | title = Northern Exposures | periodical = British Journal of Photography | volume = 160 | issue = 7808 | page = 64 | publisher = Incisive Financial Publishing Limited | quote = many of the images are in colour – a medium in which Bulmer was the British pioneer, and way ahead of photographers now considered scions of the metier, such as William Eggleston, who only started to dabble with it a decade later, and Martin Parr, post-1970.}}</ref> [[Gerry Badger]] has said of ”The Last Resort”:<ref>{{cite book |last= Parr|first= Martin|title=The Last Resort|year=2009|publisher= Dewi Lewis Publishing|location=Stockport|isbn=978-1-904587-79-8|page=5}}</ref>

<blockquote>It is difficult from a perspective of almost a quarter of a century to underestimate [sic] the significance of ”The Last Resort”, either in British photography or Martin Parr’s career. For both, it represented a seismic change in the basic mode of photographic expression, from monochrome to colour, a fundamental technical change that heralded the development of a new tone in documentary photography.</blockquote>

====Global consumerism, ”Common Sense” (1995–1999)====

Between 1995 and 1999 Parr made the series ”Common Sense” about global consumerism. ”Common Sense” was an exhibition of 350 prints, and a book published in 1999 with 158 images.

What began as a hobby has developed into a mission to change the way the history of photography is defined and understood.

==Reception==

The German photographic curator Thomas Weski has said:<ref name=”ciar-byrne-telegraph” />

<blockquote>Martin Parr is a chronicler of our age… Leisure, consumption and communication are the concepts that this British photographer has been researching for several decades now on his worldwide travels… Parr enables us to see things that have seemed familiar to us in a completely new way.</blockquote>
