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.
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-Publicstreet 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]
