The Callof the Wild with Trev Wilson - part 1 of 1 2

by Mike McNamee Published 01/08/2015

Mike McNamee talks to The Societies' Nature and Wildlife Photographer of the Year for 2014 Trev Wilson won the Wildlife Photographer of the Year with a much-praised image of a male kingfisher stunning its prey. The image also took third spot in the overall Photographer of the Year competition.

Trev also recently passed his Associateship as an ASINWP, to add to his Licentiateship of the SWPP and so it has been quite a 12-months for him. McNamee was despatched to find out more!

Trev has been interested in watching wildlife since it was nurtured as a youngster growing up in the north-east and close to places such as the Farne Islands. Nine years ago observing converted to photographing, partly to act as a stress reliever from a busy day job. Gradually his nature photography has become a consuming passion and when talking to Trev that youthful enthusiasm for nature remains very much undiminished. He started, though, with social photography and spent fours years under the guidance of Damian McGilicuddy in the Mentor Me programme. During these years, Trev also had a studio and a busy wedding schedule which was taking up many weekends. Recently he has decided to cut back on social photography, dropped the studio and reduced his wedding commitments so that he can devote more of his time to wildlife. His progress has thus been rapid.
