There is something about Parr's work that is both charming and disgusting at the same time, and this is his ability to capture nothing but the naked truth. When I look at Parr's work, I find myself knowing the characters within them more than any other artist I know of; this is because they are real. Despite how engaging this is, there is something about his work that I find uncomfortable. I think that this is due to the garish colours used in his images. However, saying this, this is all part of the ugly truth, and without this Martin Parr would just be another photographer.
