As with most people my favourite living Australian Documentary Photographer is Trent Parke. I Saw his exhibition "minutes to midnight" at the cultural centre in Dubbo where i was doing a night photography workshop with Peter Soleness (Sydney Photographer). I found his exhibition fascinating with his creative use of light and slow shutter speeds. He is the first Australian to become a full member of the renowned photographers cooperative Magnum Photo Agency and is considered to be one the most innovative and challenging young photographers of his time. While working as a press photojournalist during the first years of his career, he received numerous national and international awards, including 5 gold lenses from the international Olympic Committee, World Press Photo Awards in 1999, 2000 and 2005.
