View Finders Photography Podcast Trevor Cole: Travel POTY winning photographer on seeking the moment
Trevor Cole is a travel and documentary photographer from Northern Ireland. Trevor’s career as a geography teacher has taken him all around the world and his incredibly atmospheric photographs of South Sudanese herdsmen won him the Travel Photographer of the Year People and Culture prize in 2019. I liked Trevor’s photography before I spoke to him but hearing how he goes about his work and how much passion and respect he has for the people and places he shoots gives me an even greater appreciation for what he does. Our conversation covers Trevor’s childhood growing up among the troubles in Northern Ireland, how a road trip to North Africa changed his life, the keys to taking a great portrait and much much more.
