Martin Parr: Autoportrait Hardcover – June 1, 2000

by Martin Parr (Photographer), Marvin Heiferman (Introduction)
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
See all formats and editions

This book is not only hilarious but also raises issues of identity and self, questioning the whole notion of the photographic portrait. Whenever travelling on assignment Parr has had his picture taken by a local studio photographer, street photographer or in a photo booth. The result is a wonderfully varied portfolio of portraits—how different can one man look?

Martin Paar hat wie so oft ein aufschlussreiches Buch über zeitgenössische Fotografie vorgelegt. Das Format ist allerdings Überraschend klein. Wenn man die Formatangabe nicht liest, kann man schon enttäuscht sein.
