President Of Magnum Photos International
Martin Parr, born May 23, 1952, has become one of the leading photographers of our generation. He became a documentary photographer at the age of fourteen. He cites his grandfather, George Parr, an amateur photographer and fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, as an early influence. Since that time, Martin Parr has worked on numerous photographic projects. He has developed an international reputation for his innovative imagery, his oblique approach to social documentary, and his input to photographic culture within the UK and abroad.
In 1994 he became a full member of the Magnum Photographic Co-operative, and has served as President of Magnum Photos International since 2013.
He is known for publishing an enormous number of photography books (Over 100 books of his own work and has edited another 30), guest curator of the New Typologiesexhibition at the 2008 New York Photo festival, guest curator of the 2010 Brighton Photo Biennial, as well as serving as guest artistic director for the 2004 Rencontres d'Arles festival of photography.
Parr's work is held in respected collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Tate, London, and in the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL. Martin was awarded the Lucie Award for Achievement in Documentary Photography in 2014, Recognition for Significant Contribution in the Field of Visual Arts by the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 2016, and the Outstanding Contribution to Photography prize by the World Photography Organisation in 2017.
In 2013 Parr was appointed professor of photography at Ulster University in Belfast, and he still enjoys teaching students from all over the world and sharing his vast knowledge and experience. We are very honored to feature an Interview with one of the greatest photographers of our time, a remarkable man, who made an extraordinary impact on the photography world!
