Martin ParrAn unusual and hilarious collection of photographs not by but of Martin Parr. For several years now, when Parr has travelled on assignment he has wherever possible had his picture taken by a local studio photographer, or street photographer, or in a photo booth. The result is a wonderfully varied portfolio of portraits ranging from elaborate studio sets reminiscent of the heyday of the Victorian studio photographer, through to digitally manipulated images of Parr as Mr Universe. Includes 42 full-colour plates. |
