Trent Parke
Trent Parke (born 1971) is an Australian photographer. He is the husband of Narelle Autio, with whom he often collaborates. He has created a number of photography books; won numerous national and international awards including four World Press Photo awards; and his photographs are held in numerous public and private collections. He is a member of Magnum Photos.
Life and work
Parke was born and brought up in Newcastle, New South Wales; he now lives in Adelaide, South Australia. He started photography when he was twelve. At age 13 he watched his mother die from an asthma attack.[1] He has worked as a photojournalist for The Australian newspaper.[1]
Martin Parr and Gerry Badger say that Parke's first book Dream/Life is "as dynamic a set of street pictures as has been seen outside the United States or Japan".[2]
In 2003 he and his wife, the photographer Narelle Autio, made a 90,000 km trip around Australia, resulting in Parke's books Minutes to Midnight[3] and The Black Rose.[1]
Parke became a member of the In-Public street photography collective in 2001.[4] He became a Magnum Photos nominee in 2002 and a member in 2007; the first Australian invited to join.[5][6]
