Theme

The Camera is God (street portrait series) 2013, by award-winning Australian photographer Trent Parke features a series of anonymous portraits taken on the streets of Adelaide. For almost a year, Parke stood on the same street corner, at the same time of day, and captured images of the masses using a rapid shutter release. In executing the final prints, Parke isolates single figures and enlarges them to the point where the subject is unrecognisable. Parke is the only Australian photographer in the renowned Magnum Photo Agency and has received numerous awards including the inaugural Prudential Eye Award for Photography and the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography.
