Martin Parr - Playas



Another collection from Martin Parr that i found whilst searching for his Common Sense work. These images are a little less in your face than the common sense series.
The series 'Playas' was made into a book, which was completely designed by a Mexican design company with the final decision on Parr, who chose the design he thought fitted best, which ended up being brightly coloured and over the top (think an over the top drag act). The bad taste of the book design i believe reflects on the images themselves, with once white tourists spread across the South American beaches
