Signed copy of Utterly Lazy and Inattentive: Martin Parr in Words and Pictures.

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY LIKE NO OTHER

Martin has told many stories through photobooks, but this is the first and only time that he’ll tell his own, presenting a combination of stories and photos taken from across Martin’s life.

Created in collaboration with the writer, Wendy Jones, this autobiography is the definitive account of Martin’s life and a record of our changing world, a world that he has documented relentlessly since childhood.

Please note this is a pre-order which we estimate will be dispatched in mid September 2025.

'I’ve published over 130 photobooks on many different subjects, from seaside resorts to smoking. This is the first and only time I’ll publish a book about myself. My autobiography is a combination of stories and photos taken from across my life - from my earliest snapshots to the work I’m doing now. It was a way for me to understand my progress as a photographer: to see what has changed, and what has stayed the same, both in my work and in the world. It has allowed me to see how everything is connected’ - Martin Parr
