The Last Resort by Martin Parr

When Martin Parr's The Last Resort was first published and exhibited in 1986, it divided critics and audiences alike. Some saw it as the finest achievement to date of colour photography in Britain whilst others viewed it as an aberration. In hindsight, there is little doubt that it transformed documentary photography in Britain and placed Parr amongst the world's leading photographers. A highly collectable edition of a book that is now considered a classic.

For nearly three decades, Gerry Badger has been a photographic reviewer. The Photobook: A History, Volumes I and II (coauthored with Martin Parr) and The Genius of Photography: How Photography Has Transformed Our Lives are among his many works. His collection of essays, The Pleasures of Fine Photos, was recently released by Aperture.
