Posted in Other News

SYDNEY, April 8, 2013: Subaru Australia has today welcomed Australia's highest ranked Sports Photographer Delly Carr to their brand ambassador team.

Carr joins an already stellar Subaru portfolio, which includes:

London Triathlon Olympians Courtney Atkinson and Emma Jackson
Three time Australian Rally Champion Cody Crocker
Commonwealth Gold and Olympic Silver Medalist Swimmer, Geoff Huegill
2011 Australian Elite Female Road Cyclist of the year, Shara Gillow
Surf Lifesaving Legend, Ky Hurst and;
Logie Award winning Sports and TV presenter, Bill Woods.
“Obviously, I am very excited to join the team at Subaru Active, It's right up there as one of the grand highlights of my 25 year photography career,” said Delly.

“To be included amongst a group that include Olympians and world champions is an absolute honour.

“With Subaru including me in their team of Ambassadors, they have given a huge stamp of approval on the quality of my work, the ethics and professionalism I strive to maintain year after year.

“I love nothing more than putting back into the industry through lectures workshops and student mentoring.
“Subaru's constant focus on performance and quality are very aligned with my work focus. It's a perfect fit.”

After leaving a corporate Marketing Management position in 1987 to chase his dream and heart-felt passion of becoming a sports photographer, Carr has worked his way to the top of the Australian Sports Photography field, earning many accolades and awards along the way. His first big breakthrough came in 2001, winning the 'Best Action Photograph of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games'.

He has a won a multitude of world class Awards since then, but counts this recognition as part of his trinity of honour.

In 2008 he was inducted as a founding member of the World Photography Academy and is still the only Australian photographer appointed to that Academy.

In 2009, Nikon chose Delly as their Sports Photography Ambassador and only one of seven photographers bestowed with that title.

“That was an amazing feeling being recognised by your peers and the biggest corporate name in Photography,” says Delly.

“And today I join Subaru, a company outside of the photography market but one of the highest profile companies in the world and a leader in the car market.

“They have seen and recognised more in me than just a photographer. I can’t ask for anything bigger than that.”
