Honorable Mention
Abstract Balconies
DESCRIPTION
Block of flats in Berlin. Taken in sunshine with no special filters or subsequent image manipulation (only slight colour/contrast increase). AUTHOR
There are a wealth of fascinating subjects in the cityscape, many of which are only likely to be revealed to those prepared to look a little closer at their surroundings.The urban environment is a dynamic and changing vista, which Trevor follows with an observant eye and records with his photography. Scenes which might be overlooked or at first glance appear ordinary can in fact be rewarding, thought provoking and entertaining. The effects of light, space, reflection and shadow are of particular interest to him.
Some of Trevor’s work reveals a kind of urban beauty, whilst in other instances a more humorous outlook is evident. Ultimately, the environment in which people live is determined by their active and passive interaction with it. Elements of human behaviour, the history of places and their associated memories encourage the viewer to look at life in the city from a slightly different perspective.
Trevor is self taught, and photographs his subjects as found, without any interventions or subsequent manipulation of the images.
