Web Author Description 'A splendidly deadpan observer' (Times Literary Supplement), Martin Parr has revitalized contemporary documentary photography with his own brand of robustness and variety. His photographs are above all a visual extravaganza of acute observation, wit, and colour. A pioneer of colour photography and an insightful commentator on the commercial culture of today, as well as domestic and social life, he has repositioned contemporary documentary photography. A member of Magnum since 1994, Parr has published over twenty books and been widely exhibited around the globe. He is arguably Britain's key contemporary photographer, with an unmistakable style, and an international following in the worlds of art, fashion and journalism.

After graduating from Manchester Polytechnic, Parr and a group of his fellow photography graduates moved to the industrial Pennine town of Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, where Parr seized the opportunity to witness the northern working class with all its idiosyncrasies and dwindling traditions: 'The chapels seemed to encapsulate everything that I was interested in, in terms of the traditional aspect of life in Yorkshire: decaying and declining, hanging on with great verve and principle and great belief in the significance of what they were doing.'

Jubilee Street Party Elland, Yorkshire 1977 illustrates the defiance of their subjects in continuing as they have always done, and demonstrating a tenacity that would later contrast starkly with the technicolour consumerist world that Parr captured in the 1980s.
