La publication du livre « Tony Ray Jones » coïncide avec une exposition qui souligne l’importante contribution que Tony Ray-Jones (1941 – 1972) et son héritage ont apportée à la photographie documentaire britannique.

The publication of the book ‘Tony Ray Jones’ coincided with an exhibition to mark the important contribution that Tony Ray-Jones (1941 – 1972) and his legacy, have made to British documentary photography.

“Tony Ray -Jones was one of my initial inspirations as a photographer. His imagery showed me what was possible in shooting my own country. In 2012 I went through his contact sheets and found previously unseen images. These all contributed to a show the Media Space in 2013 where his iconic early images were shown alongside these new discoveries. There has not been a book of Tony Ray-Jones’s work in print for many years, so this new publication, from Martin Parr Foundation and RRB Photobooks will correct this oversight and the accompanying show will give us a chance to enjoy this important photographer’s immense contribution to British documentary photography.” – Martin Parr
