    197 - Martin Parr (#2)
    Dec 7 2025
    Martin Parr (born 23 May 1952), the man who the Daily Telegraph declared to be, “arguably Britain’s greatest living photographer” is known for his photographic projects that take an intimate, satirical and anthropological look at aspects of modern life, in particular documenting the social classes of England, and more broadly the wealth of the Western world.His major projects have been rural communities (1975–1982), The Last Resort (1983–1985), The Cost of Living (1987–1989), Small World (1987–1994) and Common Sense (1995–1999). Since 1994, Martin has been a member of Magnum Photos, where he scraped in by one vote and where between 2013 and 2017 he served as President. His work has been published in numerous photobooks, over 120 of his own, and he has exhibited prolifically throughout his career.In 2017 the Martin Parr Foundation was opened in Bristol. The MPF is as a gallery and archive and research resource dedicated to both preserving the Martin’s photographic legacy and to supporting emerging, established and overlooked photographers who have made and continue to make work focused on the British Isles.Since his first A Small Voice appearance on Episode 91 of the podcast in October 2018, Martin has had a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery which opened in March 2019. Entitled Only Human, the show included portraits from around the world, with a special focus on Britishness, explored through a series of projects that investigated British identity. Also since that episode Martin was awarded a CBE in the Queen’s birthday honours in June, 2021.Martin’s latest book, A Year in the Life of Chew Stoke Village was released in September 2022 by RRB Books.On episode 197, Martin discusses, among other things:Influence of his methodist grandfather… and peers at ManchesterEarly experiences in Hebdon BridgeThe move to Ireland - From the Pope to a Flat WhiteLiverpool and the controversy around The Last Resort workBristol and Bath - The Cost of LivingBeing blown away by his first experience of ArlesJoining Magnum amidst disapproval from the old guardSmall WorldA Year in the Life of Chew Stoke VillageSigns of the TimesCommon SenseThe work of the Martin Parr FoundationGood work and bad workReferenced:Robert DoisneauBill BrandtRobert FrankGarry WinograndAlan MurgatroydBrian GriffinDaniel MeadowsAlbert Street WorkshopFintan O’ToolePeter FraserPeter MitchellTom WoodAnna FoxKen GrantDavid MooreJohn HindePhilip Jones GriffithsHenri Cartier-BressonBoris MikhailovKrass Clement Martin: Website | Instagram | Episode 91 | Chew Stoke bookMPF: Website | Instagram“Most of the pictures I take are very bad, because to get the good pictures is almost impossible. If you went out in the morning and said ‘today I’m only gonna take good pictures’ you wouldn’t get anywhere. You wouldn’t even start. So you’ve got to have that momentum of shooting, and you’ve got to have found the right subject, the right place, the right time, and then things will start to happen.” Become a A Small Voice podcast member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of 200+ previous episodes for £5 per month.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.
