Martin Parr photographer analysis

Martin Parr (at least recently) tends to take pictures of people on holiday, spesifically at beaches. this means often they will be images of people in swimwear. these people are often less than idealized versions of the human form, there's a stark reality behind it all, no one is a super model, people are funny shapes and sizes. however the pictues don't feel like they are framed in a way to make these people look bad, in fact Martin Parr seems to want to capture the comradery of these people. A more cynical take might be that he is trying to portray them as masses, or as ugly, however I do not think this is his intention.
