Autoportrait Photographer Martin Parr has traded places for his latest book, to become the model. 'Autoportrait: Martin Parr' (Dewi Lewis, £12.99) lays out in full colour what can happen when you put yourself in the hands of studio and street photographers and in good old-fashioned photo booths. While on assignments during the 90s, Parr had loads of snaps taken of himself and the results are as humorous as they are insightful, raising questions about identity and the notion of photography. The photos vary from elaborate studio set pieces to Parr's head grafted onto Mr Universe's bulging torso, to Parr air-brushed to look, a supposedly flattering, 20 years younger. 'Autoportrait' is published this May - reserve your copy now!
