Trent Parke

So Trent Parke, now this is a very interesting Photographer indeed.


After getting a little tired of making Photographs of the same streets in Sydney Australia. Which to him is deemed a small city. He came to the conclusion he needed to bring out parts of the city and perspectives that it's users don't usually see.

One technique Trent is redound for, is his usage of the harsh Australian Sun light.
The buildings of the city direct the sun into channels that fire through the shadows of the Street.


Parke waits until his subject is right in the middle of the shard of light and shoots.
This gives the subject an almost god-like look to them.

Not only does this method give the amazing high-key effect to the people in the Photographs but it gives them huge drawn out shadows. both parts give so much to the image, It leaves you studying them for twice as long.
