Life and work.
Parke was born and brought up in Newcastle, New South Wales; he now lives in Adelaide, South Australia. He started photography when he was twelve. At age 13 he watched his mother die from an asthma attack. He has worked as a photojournalist for "The Australian" newspaper.
Martin Parr and Gerry Badger say that Parke's first book "Dream/Life" is "as dynamic a set of street pictures as has been seen outside the United States or Japan".
In 2003 he and his wife, the photographer Narelle Autio, made a 90,000 km trip around Australia, resulting in Parke's books "Minutes to Midnight" and "The Black Rose."
Parke became a member of the In-Public street photography collective in 2001. He became a Magnum Photos nominee in 2002 and a member in 2007; the first Australian invited to join.
