Utterly Lazy and Inattentive: Martin Parr in Words and Pictures
Martin Parr & Wendy Jones

Martin Parr was one of the best-known documentary photographers of his generation. His passion for Photography had no boundaries, as it became evident in his own practice. But just as impressive as his immense photographic legacy and his very public persona is the work done behind the scenes.

Utterly Lazy and Inttentive: Martin Parrr in Words and Pictures is the definitive account of Martin’s life and a record of our changing world, a world that he documented relentlessly since childhood.

'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

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Channel, Issue 13

This zine always resonates with me as it deals with climate and care. This particular issue I like as it hits on environmental social issues and speaks to an area where I grew up. There is multiple poems and stories in this issue that makes me feel nostalgic, longing for my younger days but also remind me of harder times for friends and residents in my area.

Channel also features poems and stories written in Irish as someone who is trying to go back and learn Irish now as an adult it is a great way to keep it interesting. The front cover of the issue is also by socially engaged artist Aaron Sunderland Carey from his exhibition Nach Cuma? Who Cares? which was about how environment shapes a person. I think the cover is very fitting for this issue. - Sarah

After Life, Michele Baron

The eighth publication from SMUT Press is After Life, the debut photobook by London-based Italian photographer Michele Baron. Known for his spontaneous and punchy photographic style, Baron captures the underground queer communities and techno clubbing scenes of London, Paris, and Berlin. Through intimate portrayals of friends, lovers, and vibrant subcultures, After Life presents one of the largest selections of Baron’s impressive archive and offers an unflinching visual diary of these marginalized yet dynamic worlds.

While Baron’s images document lives often lived at the margins of society, they also serve as powerful tools for visibility and representation. Resisting over-politicization, Baron’s work offers an honest, unapologetic view of queer lives, celebrating their complexities with sensitivity and boldness.
