'Find the extraordinary in the ordinary' - Martin Parr

Street photography is all about the everyday people, things, and moments. It is often the most common and mundane things which make the most interesting and meaningful images.

Martin Parr for me is one of the most creative street and social documentary photographers because his photography is incredibly unique and has strong statement about society. It's funny, interesting, depressing, sad, simple, straightforward but not crude, provocative, challenges us to see world differently.
I like his never ending passion about photography. He doesn't care what people say about his work but his huge 'collection of everything' proves his sensitiveness. Parr nails the details, the facial expression, even the situation and place that allow the viewer to recognize the point he is trying to make.
He can see interesting subject and topic to take the shoot everywhere. His photography doesn't have a barrier and it has exceeded the most daring expectations of viewers.
 I took of him some ideas...
