Join us for an unmissable afternoon with Martin Parr, one of the world’s most iconic and idiosyncratic photographers, as he launches his long-awaited autobiography, Utterly Lazy and Inattentive: Martin Parr in Words and Pictures.

Martin will take us on a vivid journey, reflecting on his extraordinary career of capturing the glorious absurdities of everyday life. Sharing the stories behind his most iconic images - from early snapshots to the bold, colour-saturated photos of the British seaside that made his name, this is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the man who has spent fifty years noticing what the rest of us overlook. Hosted by award-winning writer Helen Mort.

Martin Parr is one of the world’s most famous and successful photographers. He has published over 130 photobooks and exhibited all over the world. His co-writer Wendy Jones is the author of the bestselling Grayson Perry, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl.
