How do you go from a local newspaper photographer to capturing the birth of the universe?

I always enjoy hearing Trent talk about his work, he has bags of enthusiasm. Such a great photographer.

I was stunned by this interview. I have almost never seen anyone so intensely passionate about a subject as Trent Parke. truly inspirational. I love the way you just let the story flow, almost imperceptibly steering it along. Ive seen Trent’s work for several years now but now I see it with a new understanding.

[@johnwaine56]

Absolutely right! I wish I had his energy and belief!

What an amazing guy. His dedication is at a whole different level. Thanks!!

[@MartinParrFDN]

Really inspiring dedication - we agree

[@sampierce_]

Listening to Trent speaks makes me want to shoot even more. He’s me favourite photographer to listen to and probably created work that inspires me so much too

[@MartinParrFDN]

His enthusiasm is so infectious. We hope you find an opportunity to see the exhibition of his work or the accompanying book

I loved the Monument exhibition! Thank you for sharing the inspiration behind it.

[@MartinParrFDN]

It is a really powerful show. Very glad you have had the opportunity to see the work

[@robertstead]

It's great to hear of the influence of Midnight Oil. They also inspired me to spend three months in Australia but sadly without a camera. I love Trent's approach to photography and the results.

Thanks for interview !

You're welcome - it's our audience who help support the foundation's work that are really important

Very nice! I feel like the journey of a photographer is always so unpredictable, but if you`re passionate about it, it's always for the good! BTW, I just saw Martin Parr talk last Saturday here in Barcelona and was lucky enough to meet him outside when he was about to leave. I believe that those small things, these encounters, hearing Trent's experience, that help us make sense of our obsession with photography and keep going. Thank you!

[@MartinParrFDN]

Thank you for taking the time to comment Pedro. Having a community of similarly-minded fellow photographers is really important and inspiration is the driving force for creating new and exciting work. Great to hear that you had the opportunity to meet Martin in Barcelona. We are really happy at the foundation to give you this depth and insight into the stories behind photographer's work. Keep going and thank you for the support!

[@MartinParrFDN]

Our pleasure! Thank you for supporting the foundation

When I heard Trent Parke talk about his photos I imagined they were in color, imagine my surprise

[@garrytrinh3062]

We are all moths.

[@jeg569]

An interviewer that lets the subject speak, but someone moving furniture spoiled it.

intro sounds like gooning
