Martin Parr sadly died a few days ago at the age of 73.
I was lucky enough to meet Martin Parr a couple of times, he was the most unassuming and genial ambassador for photography. A genius who captured the essence of Britishness, illustrated by the image I have included above. This is one of my favourite Parr photographs.
So much will be written about his photography, but to me his legacy is that he gave us all the permission to photograph ordinary people, doing mundane things.
My condolences to his family, and I am grateful that his work will live on through the Martin Parr Foundation https://martinparrfoundation.org/
