We’ve twice welcomed Parr to the Picture House to help us delve into the world of Leeds legend Peter Mitchell. This time we are pleased to turn the tables and dig into the life and career of Parr himself.
When Parr was fourteen, his teacher wrote that he was ‘utterly lazy and inattentive’ in a school report. He went on to become one of the most successful and sought-after photographers in the world, publishing more than one hundred photobooks on many different subjects, from seaside resorts to space dogs, with his work is held in collections around the world.
