Sofa Sessions: Martin Parr in conversation with Chloe Dewe Mathews

Coinciding with the Thames Log exhibition - on display at Martin Parr Foundation 20 MAY to 29 AUG - Martin Parr is joined by Chloe Dewe Mathews in this latest Sofa Session to be released.

Chloe talks about her creative practice, touching on her photobooks Shot at Dawn (Ivory Press, 2014) and Caspian (Aperture, 2018), before discussing Thames Log.

Martin and Chloe cover Chloe's forensic approach to research, the process of undertaking long-term photographic projects, current trends in photography and the value of documentary practice.

This discussion was filmed in May 2021.
