Trent Parke (born 1971) is an Australian photographer. 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 and represented by Hugo Michell Gallery, Adelaide and Stills Gallery, Sydney.

Life and work

Parke was born and brought up in Newcastle (NSW); he now lives in Adelaide, South Australia. He started photography when he was twelve. He has worked as a photojournalist for The Australian newspaper.

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".[1]

In 2003 he and his wife, the photographer Narelle Autio, made a 90,000 km trip around Australia, resulting in Parke's series and book Minutes to Midnight.[2]

Parke became a member of the In-Public street photography collective in 2001.[3] He became a Magnum Photos nominee in 2002 and a member in 2007; the first Australian invited to join.[4][5]
