Martin Parr Beach Party and Portrait Shoot (Photos)

Images from Martin Parr’s Beach Party and Portrait Shoot at Aperture Gallery.

On Saturday, May 18, Aperture presented an all-day portrait shoot and beach party with the one and only Martin Parr, in conjunction with the release of the beach-bag-size edition of his monograph Life’s a Beach and the related exhibition at Aperture Gallery. Aperture patrons and the public joined us to have beach-themed portraits snapped by Parr, accompanied by friends, family, and even cherished pets.
