I am Martin Parr - Lee Shulman

Since the 1970s, English photographer Martin Parr has held up a sometimes tender, sometimes critical and always mischievous mirror to our times, forcing us to take a hard look at how consumer society has shaped our lives. Lee Shulman’s film brings the audience on an intimate and exclusive road trip across England with Parr, whose subjects, frames and colours have revolutionised contemporary photography.

Lee Shulman is a visual artist, filmmaker, and founder of The Anonymous Project, one of the most significant archives of vernacular color photography in existence. Since 2017, the project has amassed nearly one million Kodachrome slides from the 1940s to the early 2000s. He is a graduate of the University of Westminster with a BA in film and photography. Shulman’s practice is deeply rooted in preservation and reinvention. For the last two decades he has worked as an award-winning film maker both in the UK and France.
