I Am Martin Parr

Directed by Lee Shulman

Since the 1970s, English photographer Martin Parr has held up a sometimes tender, sometimes critical and always mischievous mirror to our times, forcing us to take a hard look at how consumer society has shaped our lives.  

While Parr’s work is now showcased globally‚ his early photography faced challenges and criticism for seemingly trivializing the working class. In highlighting aspects of British life often overlooked, he prompted necessary discussions which provoked discomfort for some. 

Discover the maverick behind some of the most iconic images of the past century on an intimate and exclusive road trip across England with the uncompromising Parr, whose subjects, frames and colours have revolutionised contemporary photography.
