Kayell presents an evening with Delly Carr

Despite his humble beginnings in Sydney as the young sports-obsessed son of migrant parents, Delly Carr found his photographic fire on the sidelines of high school rugby matches. That flame was fanned by a bourgeoning entrepreneurial spirit, and the guts of a renegade. He was going to become a sports photographer, but he was going to do it his way. Since Delly captured his first Olympic Games in Sydney 2000 (and won the overall prize for Best Olympic Photograph) he has been a mainstay at finish lines, medal ceremonies and insider back rooms the world over. Still a freelancer in a sea of agency and corporate photographers, Delly is on the cusp of immortalising moments for his 11th Olympics.

The evening will be hosted by Graham Monro, a Sydney based professional photographer and will take the shape of using iconic images that Delly has created over the years to tell stories that will explain how he has become one of the most sought after sports photographers in the world. The event will take place in Kayell’s NSW Showroom at 30 Whiting Street, Artarmon, starting at 6:15 p.m. A free of $30 applies but it will be offered back in the form of a shop credit after the event.
