UTTERLY LAZY AND INATTENTIVE (MARTIN PARR) (PB)

The definitive account of a great photographer’s work, life and times. It gathers over 150 of Martin’s photographs with his recollections and reflections, his distinctive voice delicately captured by his friend, the writer Wendy Jones. We see him exploding into the public consciousness in the late eighties with a series of startling, ultra-saturated colour images of the British seaside - and scandalising the photography establishment in the process. As society changes over the decades, Martin’s particular passions remain: crowds and queues, fetes and placards, bad weather on beaches.
