One of the world's most successful photographers tells his own story for the first time.

Once dismissed by a teacher as "utterly lazy," Martin Parr went on to publish over 100 photobooks. This definitive autobiography combines over 150 of his photographs—from early snapshots to recent work—with personal reflections captured alongside writer Wendy Jones.

The book explores:

• His career (from capturing 1980s British seaside culture to society's shifts over decades)
• His creative process (tricks for getting the shot, handling commissions)
• His unique passions (crowds, queues, and bad beach weather)

Ultimately, looking through Parr's lens offers a fresh perspective on his life and our world.
