(Chapter 22) martin parr's series of modern and contemporary photographers.

Many of martin parr's works are somewhat ironic, especially the innuendo of consumerism and superficial conformity, which may touch some people's sensitive nerves, especially the "punch card" which is particularly popular in China at present. You will find that martin parr began to allude to this behavior with his works many years ago.

He is the first photographer to show the transformation process from an industrial economy society to a market-oriented society under the influence of consumerism and globalization: consumer goods, food or people are all Parr's favorite subjects. Excessive colors, unusual composition and sometimes weird themes, in Parr's view, moral corruption and the absurdity of trivial matters in life mean that we can only get salvation from a sense of humor.

In the early 1980s, his works reflected the life of the British public, especially the tourist attractions where tourists gathered and the beaches, bathing places and beaches where people could relax easily. He is good at narrating with comedy and satire, and has won praise for his unique social perspective and innovative form.

1994 joined the magnum photo agency, but it is often regarded as "different" in this organization, because the photographer of the magnum photo agency gives the impression that he likes black and white photography and likes the exquisiteness, composition and beauty of the picture. Martin parr's color photography has high color saturation and brightness, and he often uses a flash. His energy is more focused on how to express personal and social quirks and weaknesses through the content of photography.

The representative works of the photo album are: Last resort, Small World and Luxury.
