Strangely Familiar | Peter Mitchell (First Edition)

Opening with an introduction by Martin Parr; Strangely Familiar by cult British photographer Peter Mitchell is a journey through Leeds in the 1970's. It is a biopic of a city undergoing change. Peter was working as a truck driver at the time and whilst doing his rounds began shooting the factories and shops, all very formally using a stepladder. The work was exhibited at Tate Britain in the seminal 'How We Are: Photographing Britain' exhibition in 2007 but this book is the first time it has been published as a monograph with 47 colour plates, expertly printed onto matt paper which plays off the Peter's texts beautifully.

Made in Bristol

Meet the Maker: RRB Photobooks

Founded by Rudi Thoemmes in Bristol, RRB Photobooks celebrates Britain's distinctive documentary photography tradition - capturing the eccentric, overlooked beauty that defines British culture. This independent publisher specialises in rare, underappreciated British photographers who reveal the nation's authentic character: Peter Mitchell's 40-year documentation of Leeds showing life's complexities, Niall McDiarmid's seven-year journey photographing Britain's true characters in homogenised high streets, and Martin Parr's wonderfully humorous, often garish style unveiling worlds we know but shy from. Their British Documentary Classics series brings new life to both celebrated and previously overlooked photographers, making important work accessible to wider audiences. RRB opens eyes to see British culture through lenses that are unforgiving yet utterly charming, witty, and quintessentially British - publishing the photographers mainstream houses often miss.
