It's been almost a month since documentary photographer Martin Parr left us. He spent over 50 years capturing everyday British life with saturated colors and a satirical eye, and leaves behind an enormous body of work. But Parr knew which photographs mattered most.
When asked about his legacy, he said that when he reached the Pearly Gates, The Last Resort – his breakthrough series from 1986, capturing working-class holidaymakers at a rundown seaside resort – would be the first he'd pull out. Now, following his death, his eponymous Foundation is doing exactly that; putting those pictures front and center in a new exhibition.
