In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg has a delightful conversation with Delly Carr.
Delly Carr is arguably the greatest sports photographer in the world.
Officially ranked in Australia as Australia's top freelance Sports photographer, his list of clients reads like a who's who in the world of sport. From swimming to rugby, to Triathlon to Fencing to softball and rowing he’s worked them all.
Plus, 7 Commonwealth Games and 9 Olympics with the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games being his tenth.
But he’s much more than a photographer he’s a man who has captured and preserved the history of some of the greatest moments in sport. The Victories and Triumph’s, the Disappointments and Misfortune’s, the Laughs, smiles, blood, sweat, and tears he’s captured it all.
His awards read like their own book – If there is an award for the most awards this man probably has it. The highlight being a member of the exclusive - World Photography Academy
He’s been a mate of Greg's since the late ’80s, early 90’s and Greg has always loved his passion and commitment to doing whatever it takes to celebrate the story of sport.
In this episode, Delly describes the moment in which he left the comforts of corporate life to follow his passion for sports photography. Although it took a few years his career and his name became a part of the sporting culture around the world.
Delly discusses the world of Triathlon and how it has changed. He shares some of his greatest moments in sport, and some of his favorite images.
Simply a wonderful conversation with a delightful human being.
