For its 22nd edition, the La Gacilly Photo Festival in western France is honouring big names in British photography including Martin Parr, Terry O’Neill and Don McCullin.

"The British don’t do anything like anybody else," La Gacilly Photo Festival’s curator Cyril Drouhet told journalists at a press conference in Paris, as he unveiled the So British theme of this year’s programme.
