British, b. 1952
Martin Parr (b.1952) is a British documentary photographer, photojournalist and photobook collector.

His projects include The Last Resort (1983–1985), The Cost of Living (1987–1989), Small World (1987–1994) and Common Sense (1995–1999). Since 1994, Parr has been a member of Magnum Photos and is the author of 40 photobooks with work in many exhibitions worldwide, including the international touring exhibition "ParrWorld."

Vivienne Westwood
Located in Austin, TX
Signed limited edition print of acclaimed British fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood by photographer, Andrew Cotterill. “I took this picture when i was assisting in the early 90’s. The photographer i was working with said take one of my other cameras and shoot what you see. It was a very kind gesture to mention this, so i did and had a great time. Vivian was wonderful and totally eccentric having created this tiny room she called her “Saloon”. Its was a little scary but probably got me on my way.” This print is available in different sizes: 12 x 16” - Edition 25 16 x 20” - Edition 20 20 x24” - Edition 15 30 x 40” - Edition 10 East London born Andrew Cotterill is a Photographer with a genuine passion and engendered affinity with his subject matter.

Andrew's entry into magazines came, suitably enough, with pictures of Public Enemey's Chuck D...
