Martin's most famous work is probably The Last Resort

His style is intimate and satirical. He uses flash, whatever the situation, and this has the effect of highlighting the photo subject(s) in a very recognisable way.

Lots of references in Parr's Wikipedia entry.

Parr founded the Martin Parr Foundation in 2014 to

SUPPORT[S] EMERGING, ESTABLISHED AND OVERLOOKED PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE MADE AND CONTINUE TO MAKE WORK FOCUSED ON BRITAIN AND IRELAND.

WE PRESERVE A GROWING COLLECTION OF SIGNIFICANT PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKS AND STRIVE TO MAKE PHOTOGRAPHY ENGAGING AND ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO MAKING THE MARTIN PARR FOUNDATION A PLACE FOR EVERYONE AND TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF BRITISH AND IRISH CULTURE.
