Martin Parr is a controversial British photojournalist whose world view is ironic and his art style provocative. In his photo essays there are no wars, no natural disasters, no glamor, no beauties of nature and other spectacular themes that evoke a predictable emotional response from the viewer. The subject of Martin Parr's research is the daily life of the middle class, or, if you like, the inhabitants, in its various manifestations. Since 1994, Martin Parr has been a member of the world's most prestigious photo agency, Magnum Photos, founded by Cartier-Bresson himself.
In the summer of 1995, this British photographer visited Yalta, which he himself called the "Russian Riviera". And in this series you will see all the diversity that Yalta could offer tourists almost twenty years ago - Crimean beaches, the noise of the embankment, topless girls, Brezhnev's dacha, local bandits, boarding houses and decorous family vacations.
