Parr, a Magnum Photos member since 1994, reinvented documentary photography with this gaze: corrosive, pop, and razor-sharp. His series The Last Resort, Life’s a Beach, and Think of England don’t just record habits; they caricature them with surgical precision, forcing us to laugh at what we are.

One of the most influential photographers of the 20th century along with other photographers of his time such as: Man Ray, Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Margaret Bourke-White, Philippe Halsman, Diane Arbus, Inge Morath, Robert Doisneau, Robert Mapplethorpe, Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Steve McCurry, among many others.
