Walking frame, ring flash & braces: the last photos of Martin Parr at work

Martin Parr leans over a village hall table laden with prize vegetables and flowers, ring flash mounted on his camera, with his walking frame parked beside him.

Back in April, we wrote about Lacock by Martin Parr, the late British photographer's last major commission, ahead of its opening at Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, UK. The exhibition has now opened to the public, and the National Trust and CEWE have now released a set of behind-the-scenes photographs that change the story slightly, in the best possible way.

Because what these new images show isn't really the village of Lacock. It's Martin Parr himself, working. And for anyone who's ever picked up a camera, that turns out to be the more interesting picture entirely.
