Like Madonna, the Yerbury duo constantly reinvent themselves with fresh approaches to their art – and challenging diversions within the social portraiture genus.
As the 4th generation of this celebrated Scottish photographic dynasty, Trevor spent many years concentrating on fashion and private nude commissions.
He returned to social and wedding photography in the mid 90s and immediately created a unique style of photography, which not only earned him the title of "Kodak UK Wedding Photographer of the Year" in 1997 & 1999, but his influential style helped change the course of wedding photography into the relaxed, informal style we have today.
No stranger to the media, Trevor has been interviewed about his individual style of photography on national television by Noel Edmonds for the BBC, Carol Smillie for ITV and Paul Ross for SKY. He is a regular contributor to BBC radio arts programmes.
Trevor was featured on the BBC Arts documentary "The Bigger Picture" where he was filmed making a portrait of Billy Connolly. The resulting image was used as the opening scene for each episode and has since become an iconic image.
Their work in photographing the female nude has been recognised internationally, resulting in overseas exhibitions and seminar tours. In 2003,the Yerburys’ talent was commissioned to supply the entire artwork for the new Glasshouse Hotel in Edinburgh - a brave concept, but one that resulted in the hotel recently being voted Sexiest Hotel in Scotland.
Trevor holds a total of 14 Kodak European Gold Awards. His other awards include SWPP UK Glamour Photographer 2006 and UK Fashion Photographer 2006.
Four years ago Trevor Yerbury was voted one of the world’s top ten photographers by a leading Spanish magazine…despite having once declared: “I won’t shoot the wedding if the bride isn’t beautiful”.
Faye joined Trevor full time in 1996 and has earned an enviable reputation for her work. On 3 occasions she has won the title of "Kodak UK Child Photographer of the Year". She also holds a Kodak Gold Award and SWPP UK Architectural Photographer 2006.
Trevor and Faye Yerbury have made their mark in the international scene through their delicate yet assertive portrayal of the female nude. Gallery Pi is honoured to host the exclusive Malta exhibition of their latest collection.The Yerburys now devote much of their time to their seminar and workshop programme, convinced that education is essential for today's professional photographer. They are committed to providing a platform and an environment in which all levels of photographers can come together and develop their own individual creative talents.
The exhibition will run from the 14th till 24th October 2011 at Gallery Pi, Archbishop Street, Valletta. Opening hours are Tuesday to Friday 10am - 2pm and Saturday 9:30am-12:30pm (Closed on Saturday 15th). Other opening times by appointment.
