TURNED OUT NICE AGAIN – Snapshots of Britain at Leisure – Martin Parr / Lee Shulman / The Anonymous Project

TURNED OUT NICE AGAIN The Anonymous Project, edited Martin Parr & Lee Shulman, forward by Suzie Parr Available October Turned Out Nice Again is the final collaboration between Martin Parr and Lee Shulman, celebrating a friendship built on years of working together and a shared passion for amateur family photography. Drawn from The Anonymous Project archive, the book brings together a remarkable selection of photographs from across the UK. Funny, touching and deeply human, Turned Out Nice Again is a celebration of British life in all its humour, warmth and glorious ordinariness. From seaside holidays and village fêtes to back gardens, living rooms and family celebrations, these photographs capture the moments that often go unnoticed yet say the most about who we are. They reveal the small rituals, quirks and shared experiences that shape everyday life, reminding us that the seemingly ordinary can often tell the most profound stories about human nature. “Martin had always possessed a profound love and respect for amateur photography. He never saw a hierarchy between the professional and amateur image. Some of his greatest discoveries came from flea markets, family albums, postcards and forgotten snapshots. He understood instinctively that the everyday, when looked at carefully enough, could become extraordinary. The humour, awkwardness, tenderness and occasional absurdity of ordinary life fascinated him endlessly.” Suzie Parr 26×19,5cm / 208 pages / Hard Cover / Cloth bound / Text English ISBN 978-3-903616-12-7
