Documentary Travel Photography and Writing

Trevor Wilson Travel and Documentary Photography and writing

Always inquisitive, I love to document my travels and explore the world through photography and writing.

Growing up in a family that was continually moving from place to place sowed the seeds of my love for travel and I have since managed to organise my life to allow me to make many trips to fascinating places around the world as a travel and documentary photographer.

Photography has always been my hobby and that naturally progressed into being my main career for the past 25 years. I photograph weddings as my main line of work and I use my travel and documentary photography skills to document the journeys I make each year.

I really don’t photograph just one genre. I am not a landscape photographer, or a nature photographer, or a street photographer. Instead I simply arrive at a destination and make photographs of the things that, for me, make a place what it is. More recently I have also been writing about my experiences and you can find many short stories in the Travel Journal section of this site.

Day 100 Chip

There is one question that I think about an awful lot, and my 100 Dogs project makes me think about it even more. Is Chip truly happy? More to the point, is he actually happier than the street dogs in India, who most people look upon with great sadness?

Day 99 Named Dogs

When I chose the images of dogs for this project I picked through all of them from the four trips I have made to India over the past 9 years. Some dog images were stronger than others, and a few of the dogs had clear links to stories that I wanted to tell, so I used their photographs.

Day 98 Puppy Dogs

As much as I love dogs, including those in India of course, I have to admit that there really are far too many. The exact number varies but it is suggested to be around 15 million animals. As I’ve mentioned in my project many times, you really don’t have to go far to find a dog in India.
