An international collective of street photographers, the best candid street photography from the public realm

Time is not out there – "now" is a strange trick of the mind. The good news is that with training you can live in the moment for longer

I used to keep a dream diary when I was in my twenties and still under the spell of a boyhood ingestion of Jung, perhaps, or a cheap excitement about the dark. I stopped when I noticed that all the time and energy I was spending transcribing my dreams in the dead of night, before I’d properly woken up, was detracting from my daytime activities; the night was claiming me full-time, to the point where I could no longer do my conscious work.

Trent Parke was born in 1971 in Newcastle, Australia. He started at 12 with Mum's Pentax Spotmatic, (and a laundry darkroom),....and hasn't stopped since.

This street portrait series is the first major exhibition of internationally renowned Australian photojournalist Trent Parke’s work to be shown in Victoria.
