Pride by Martin Parr brings together thirty-seven of the photographer's standout images made at Bristol Pride over eight years, capturing the energy, colour and spirit of the event. 'I have photographed over four Prides and it is always one of the best days for shooting in the Bristol calendar. I like shooting when people are assembling for the march; it gives me a chance to shoot some great homemade placards and to isolate these, to give them more presence. It is fantastic how Pride marches are now enjoyed by so many people. This would not have been the case when these marches started.' The book was published to coincide with the Martin Parr x Bristol Pride exhibition at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, opened in June. Parr's familiar close-up colour vocabulary—flash on faces, saturated palettes, attention to handmade signs and details of dress—turns the gathering into both a celebration and a typology of a contemporary British public event, with its costumes, placards, supporters, performers and bystanders.
