SELECTED AS ONE OF MARTIN PARR'S BEST PHOTOBOOKS OF 2016
Badly Repaired Cars is a bright, bold and humorous documentation of some of the best (or worst) examples of DIY car repairs. Close up photographs of cars held together by tape, plastic and glue fill each frame and begin to take on the qualities of abstract art. A strip of duct tape across a broken headlight becomes powerfully graphic in form; green plastic hanging from a door divides the frame like a Rothko colour wash.
This is Book 2 in a series that celebrates the best in colourful, modern photography.
Born in Milan in 1987, photographer Ronni Campana specialises in photographing the world’s minute imperfections. By concentrating on details in his surrounding environment and framing contrasting colour and shapes he uncovers an abstract beauty in seemingly mundane objects. With the use of subtle humour and a bright flash he draws our attention to the wonderful flaws found in everyday life. This is his first book.
This is the first edition.

Considered the birthplace of the package holiday, Benidorm continues to draw visitors with its promise of tropical escape. Rob Ball's contemporary photographs reveal a more complex story: one of human connection and communion, and of the stark contrast between a vibrant beach culture and the towering urban landscape that embraces it.
Rob Ball has been a photographer for over 25 years. He spent time working as a news, sport and crime scene photographer before shifting to long-form personal projects while lecturing at Canterbury Christ Church University. Rob has exhibited his work internationally and continues to work on projects and commissions while lecturing.
