Bio
Originally
from Derry, the internationally renowned humanitarian photographer, Trevor Cole
has spent most of his life outside Ireland in England,
Singapore, Togo, Italy, Ethiopia and Brazil. He now lives in Donegal. His
photography, together with travel, have become two of his life’s passions.
Trevor is a geographer and has worked as a geography teacher in several
international schools. His photography focuses on culture, landscapes and
wildlife; images which reflect a spatial and temporal journey through life and
which try to convey a need to live in a more sustainable world.
He has published images in magazines, calendars and cards, and in 2011 he presented to The Royal Geographical Society. His images have been used in the tourist industry and by a variety of writers who specialise in writing about travel. Trevor’s background as a teacher ensures that his images also support a variety of educational programmes including the International Baccalaureate and various development education projects. His work has been exhibited in several countries most recently in Ethiopia and Ireland.
