Looked the images by Trent Parke you refer to and what strikes me is that the technique apparantly used seems, based on my own experiences (see below), to be the exact opposite of that you say you're using (camera static on a trpod using longish shutter speeds to 'capture' the movement of the subject)
Trent Parke images remind me of catwalk and event images Scott Heiser shot in the 80's for e.g. andy Warhol's 'Interview Magazine', (and whose work is featured in the collections of the Delaware Art Museum https://emuseum.delart.org/people/1120/scott-heiser/objects ).
At that time (early 80's) it inspired me to try and emulate his style in some of the catwalk shows I shot at that time (obviously on film). But while I personally quite liked my results ,



the designers whose shows I shot definitely didn't, and I consequently returned to shooting the 'normal' way for commercial/paid jobs.
Contrary to your settings, I used to shoot hand held, not on a tripod, using a longish shutter speed, while moving the camera along with the movement of the subject.
If I were to repeat that with a digital body nowadays, I would notchange much, if anything, from that.
And definitely not resort to some post processing trick to try get the desired result (after all, we're talking about photography, not digital effects )
