Martin Parr – Exhibition: Only Human
7th March – 27th May at the National Portrait Gallery
This major new exhibition brings together works by one of Britain’s best known and most widely celebrated photographers, Martin Parr. Including recognisable photographs alongside works never before exhibited it will focus on one of his most engaging subjects – people. The exhibition will include portraits of people from around the world, with a special focus on Parr’s wry observations of Britishness, explored through a series of projects that investigate British identity today.
The weather is getting better so hope all of you will be able to get out and take some wonderful photographs.
