Photolyfe: Trevor King

Welcome to PhotoLyfe, in which Stab’s favourite photographers answer questions about themselves with their own images. It’s that old picture-tells-a-thousand-words chestnut but with more colour and pop. It’s a way to cut out all the bullshit. It’s like jacking into the main vein of those who supply us with exquisite surf imagery every day. Give thanks by studying each image with a more careful eye than ever! Today’s another in a newly-introduced Photolyfe element; we’re swaying just a bump away from pure surf shooters, and are now including, on occasion, lensmen who orbit surfing without ever permanently entering the atmosphere. Trevor King’s a perfect example of this – he surfs, he shoots surfing, but, may we say, he does his best work when there’s a beautiful woman on the other side of his lens. You’ll probably recall that he photographed Rosie Hodge for us a little while back. Does Trev need any more sparkling introduction that that particular gallery? Get TK in your Instagram feed, here. And swing through his portal, here. 1. Describe yourself 2. Where are you from? 3. What got you into photography? 4. Where do you wish you were right now? 5. What inspires you? 6. Who’s your favourite person to photograph? 7. What makes the best photograph? 8. What’s your favourite weapon? 9. Describe your mood right now. 10. What else should we know about you?
