Beach Therapy

Martin Parr (1952-2025)

Synopsis

Martin Parr: Beach Therapy presents a new body of work by British photographer Martin Parr, focusing on his enduring fascination with beach scenes. Known for using the beach as a testing ground, Parr has historically introduced new cameras and techniques in this setting, most notably transitioning from black-and-white to color photography in the 1980s at New Brighton. Recently, he began using a telephoto lens to explore new visual possibilities, blending beach activities with natural elements in and out of focus. This book is a testament to Parr's innovative use of photography and solidifies his status within the documentary photography field.
