Martin Parr, Iconic Chronicler of British Life, Dies at 73

Parr first gained widespread recognition in the 1980s with The Last Resort, a series documenting working-class life in New Brighton. His saturated colours and candid shots revealed both the struggles and quirks of northern England. The project sparked discussions about class, regional identity, and how marginalised communities were portrayed.

Parr’s death leaves a significant gap in the photography world. His legacy, however, remains firmly intact through his extensive body of work. Galleries, books, and exhibitions will continue to showcase his unique vision of British life for years to come.
