Martin Parr will be coming to give a talk at the Beaufort Park Hotel, Mold on Thursday 11th October as part of Mold Camera Club’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations.
Martin Parr is a chronicler of our age and is known for his satirical documentation of contemporary British life. In a career spanning over 40 years, his work is a darkly comic and often sharp look at the quirkiness of British Society.
Since 1994, Martin has been a member of the world famous Magnum Photos cooperative agency founded in 1947 by Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Capa and others. In 2008, Martin was awarded the Centenary Medal of The Royal Photographic Society 'in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography'.
Well known for his engaging and entertaining talks, Martin will be speaking about his work, his life and experiences including his recent projects in Atlanta and Finland. There will also be a selection of his books for sale which he will be happy to sign.
