Photography
Very few professional photographers of national standing have published photographs of Anzac Parade.  The most prominent of those who have is Steve Parish, a Melbourne-based photographer who has won several major national awards and published at least twenty books in his fifty-year career as a photographer (Wikipedia, 'Steve Parish', en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Parish, accessed October 2011;  Angus & Robertson, 'All books by Steve Parish', www.angusrobertson.com.au/by/steve-parish, accessed October 2011, site inactive 4 August 2022).  However, he has published only one photograph of Anzac Parade, Sunset over the Parliamentary Triangle, Canberra.  This is a view in a southerly direction from Mount Ainslie along Anzac Parade to Parliament House.  It forms part of a series of colour postcards of Canberra that Parish published in 1990 (ACT Heritage Library, Manuscript Collection, www.library.act.gov.au/find/history/search/Manuscript_Collections/commercial_postcards, accessed October 2011).

The professional art photographer whom one would have most expected to have published images of Anzac Parade is Heide Smith.  Born in Germany, Smith took up residence in Canberra in 1978 and set up a studio there in 1982.  She has a strong national reputation as a photographer, and her many awards include Australian Professional Portrait Photographer of the Year.  Between 1982 and 1999 she published four books of photographs of Canberra.  Between them they contain five images of the Australian War Memorial, but only one distant shot of Anzac Parade.

The professional photographer who has taken probably the greatest number of photographs of Anzac Parade is Damian McDonald (born 1971), a staff photographer at the National Library of Australia.  The Library holds a collection of 56 of his black and white photographs and 27 of his colour transparencies of Anzac Parade, all taken in 2002.  Twenty-eight of these shots are published on the Library's website.  They include night and daytime shots, as well as photographs of the individual war memorials and of the award-winning street lighting (Trove, trove.nla.gov.au/picture/result?q=anzac+parade+canberra+mcdonald&s=20,
