Trevor Clark
Trevor Clark is a renowned photographer born in London in 1933. During the years 1955 to 1968 he was an advertising and fashion photographer at his studio in Soho, London and in the early 1960's, he captured some of the most famous upcoming artists and musicians of the Swinging Sixties in their first studio portraits  including  The Rolling Stones (1963) and The Beatles (1963-1964). In 1968 he relocated to the island of Mallorca (Spain) to continue his career as an advertising and fashion photographer on location, producing thousands of photos of glamorous models, super yachts and travel themes for many international advertising agencies.

Early Life
Trevor Clark was born in London on the 27th of May 1933 in London (UK). In 1949, at the age of 16 years he was introduced into the world of photography - working  at a studio in London. At the age of 18 he had to complete his 2 years of National Service and joined the Royal Air Force as a photographer, doing aerial, industrial and press photography. In 1953 he was contracted as a promotional photographer on the first ever World Cruises New York to New York in 6 months, visiting 26 countries. This entailed photographing all the important sights in the world (the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, etc) to be used to promote the cruises.

Soho, UK
In 1955 Trevor started his career as an advertising and fashion photographer in his studio in Soho, London. Here he took thousands of photos for advertising agencies. As well as glamorous models, he also captured musicians and upcoming pop/rock stars from all over the UK - in many cases these were their very first studio photos - including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Cliff Richards, Marty Wilde, Billy Fury, The Moody Blues, Cilla Black, P. J. Proby, Manfred Mann, Billy J. Kramer, among many others.

Mallorca, Spain
In 1968 Trevor decided to make a radical move…..at this time there was a sudden demand for photo shoots on location in the Mediterranean area – so he decided to relocate to the island of Mallorca and continue his career away from the studio and permanently on location – having available all-year-round sunshine, local models already tanned, and the facility of exotic locations. Art directors from advertising agencies across northern Europe could come over to do their photo shoots without the usual hassle, delays and expense.. This has been a resounding success and Trevor still enjoys living and working in Mallorca to this day.
