Nadia Lee Cohen, Martin Parr: Julie Bullard

The new IDEA book is JULIE BULLARD, a work of photographic fiction by Nadia Lee Cohen and Martin Parr. And yes, you read that correctly. Nadia Lee Cohen (Women, HELLO My Name Is, the Kim Kardashian Christmas video) has teamed up with Martin Parr ( The Last Resort, The Cost of Living, over 100 more books and no Kim Kardashian videos) and they have indeed made a book. 

Martin is Nadia's favourite photographer. She likes his work so much she wanted to be in his pictures. To be more precise, Nadia wanted to be a character in a Martin Parr photographed book. She wanted to be Julie Bullard. 

" The actual Julie Bullard was my childhood babysitter and possibly the first woman i ever saw in real life with naturally blonde, curly hair. She was my first introduction to glamour in any form. I was starstuck. Memories of her clothes, hair, makeup and home represent the essence of Britain in the 1990s and, for me. there was no one other than Martin to photograph the fragmented re=creation of that fondly remembered warm environment. 

And so Martin signed on to take the photographs in the way only he can: 

" It was a nice surprise to be invited. I was intrigued to join her on this journey of childhood memories, and to try and capture that sense of innocence."
