地球上最受欢迎的摄影师之一讲述他的人生和艺术

14 岁时，我决定要成为一名摄影师。“这是我余生要做的事情，直到死去。”我很小的时候就知道了。这是一个坚定的决定。别问我为什么。我只是知道这是正确的选择。 马丁·

帕尔十四岁时，他的老师在一份学校报告中写道，他“非常懒惰，注意力不集中”。后来，他成为世界上最成功、最受追捧的摄影师之一。在他的职业生涯中，马丁出版了 100 多本摄影书，主题多种多样，从海滨度假胜地到吸烟。现在，马丁第一次也是唯一一次出版了一本关于他自己的书，用他自己的话讲述自己的故事。

这本自传汇集了马丁的 150 多张照片——从他最早的快照到他现在的作品——以及他对每张照片的回忆和反思。我们遇见了一个在郊区长大的男孩，他痴迷于收藏，对一切都保持敏锐的观察力。我们看到他在八十年代末凭借一系列令人震惊的、色彩饱和度极高的英国海滨照片一炮走红，并在此过程中震惊了摄影界。我们看到了几十年来社会的变迁，从蒸汽火车的消亡，到莫斯科第一家麦当劳的开业，再到后疫情时代的世界变革。

马丁分享了他的故事，他独特的声音被他的朋友、作家温迪·琼斯细腻地捕捉到。他还揭示了他对待工作和委托的方式；他获得拍摄机会和拍摄的技巧；并透露了他独特的爱好：人群和排队、庆典和标语牌、海滩上的恶劣天气等等。

这是对一位伟大摄影师职业生涯的记录，汇集了定义他人生的作品。通过他的眼睛和镜头看世界，我们得以以不同的视角看待马丁·帕尔——以及我们自己。

One of the most popular photographers on the planet recounts his life and art

By the age of 14, I decided I would be a photographer. ‘It’s what I will do for the rest of my life, until I drop dead.’ I knew when I was very young. It was a definite decision. Don’t ask me why. I just knew it was the right thing.

When Martin 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. Martin has published over one hundred photobooks on many different subjects, from seaside resorts to smoking, over his career. Now, for the first and only time, Martin has produced a book about himself, telling his own story, in his own words.

This autobiography combines over 150 of Martin’s photographs – from his earliest snapshots to the work he is doing today – with his recollections and reflections on each image. We meet a boy growing up in suburbia, who collects obsessively and notices everything. We see him exploding into the public consciousness in the late eighties with a series of startling, ultra-saturated colour images of the British seaside – and scandalising the photography establishment in the process. We see society changing over the decades, from the demise of steam trains, through the opening of the first McDonald’s in Moscow, to the transformations of the post-pandemic world.

As Martin shares his story, his distinctive voice delicately captured by his friend, the writer Wendy Jones, he also reveals his approach to work and commissions; his tricks for gaining access and getting the shot; and he divulges his particular passions: for crowds and queues, fetes and placards, bad weather on beaches, and more.

This is the definitive account of a great photographer’s career, curating the work that has defined his life. By looking at the world through his eyes and his lens, we come away seeing Martin Parr – and ourselves – a little differently.
