New Martin Parr website? Don't mind if we do photography fans

Earlier this week Martin Parr unveiled a brand spanking new website and it’s an upgrade worthy of the work of one of the defining photographers of modern times. Gone is the retro living room around which the old site was designed, and in its place is a sleek, easy-to-navigate affair which gives his brilliance due room to breathe. This is exemplified by the sheer joy of flicking through his recent series on Atlanta, which juxtaposes stereotypical scenes of the American South with the city’s vibrant gay community. There’s also a really comprehensive FAQ section with some genuinely interesting insights, a blog and a rundown of his books and films.
