Martin Parr's seminal work from 1986. Whether you are a fan of his work or not it raises interesting questions and can give us inspiration for our own projects and wats of working.

Amazing book. That photo of the woman selling ice-cream is so beautiful it makes my cry...
Parr is my favourite photographer and people who think he is exploiting Working Class people are wrong,he is celebrating us and his photos are shot with genuine affection.
The man in the blue shirt with the dog was my grandfather. Lovely book
Do you have a print of that photo? It's an amazing book, I love it :)
I loved the photo of the girl serving in the cafe glaring at the camera
I like Martin Parr’s work… he has a good eye.
I used a fill-in flash in bright sunlight, to lift the shadows a few stop below the exposure, in my BTEC photography diploma… yes I admit it, in the early 90’s, I imitated his technique. Visually, I liked the effect it brings to colour photography.
Also, New Brighton is my home town… so I remember what it was like back in the 80’s; the prolific littering, of holiday makers, in particular.
I miss New Brighton baths; and, feel the local council have stolen them from us, just so they can put up supermarkets instead… blaming it on the weather. Pathetic.
However, I don’t recall the orange shorts on naked kids though… what’s that about?
It’s insulting to Parr’s integrity.
Sorry, but I don’t agree with unnecessary censorship. Just don’t include those photos, if you’re so easily offended by naked kids. Personally, I loved the freedom of running around butt naked, as a kid, myself; there’s nothing wrong… it’s perfectly natural.
Allow children have their childhood… before their innocence is lost to the shame of adult social programming.
Those who make an issue about it are the only one’s who should be ashamed.
The truth is, that’s what people did in those days… they allowed their children to be free. Super imposing orange shorts only makes a lie of the Zeitgeist of the time.
Apart from your obvious fear of the RUclips censors, it’s an interesting video.
Pragmatism, not fear.
Thanks for your comment though, a good read :)
I understand… these are strange times. Thanks for not taking offence; sometimes, things need to be said.
Parr’s style seems to have taken a turn toward the banal and mediocre over the last few years. The books ‘Tbilisi’ and ‘Mexico’…uninspiring and unimaginative
