Trevor Lowe enjoys “telling a bit of a story” through the photos he captures.
It’s something the photographer is able to share with the community for the month of April through his exhibition at the Paeroa Arts Centre.
“It’s entitled Evanescence, which is basically talking about things that are here briefly and it’s often talked about or used in relation to celebrities, but it sort of seems to me anyway quite pertinent for describing flowers, that they’re here for a short time, they do their thing and then they’re gone,” the documentarian told The Profile.
“So I’m sort of trying to present flowers along that sort of line, that whilst they’re here, it’s not a bad idea to get to know them a wee bit, become familiar with them and I’m hoping to have done that with the photos that I’ve created.”
Trevor said the more photos he’d taken, the more he “actually enjoyed the challenge” of telling a bit of a story or providing some sort of view of a subject that maybe others hadn’t quite seen before.
Trevor believed he always had a bit of a “creative bent”, but “never considered myself an artist”.
He said his serious venture into the world of photography led him to around 20-25 years in the practice. People can see Trevor’s photography on display in the Crosby Gallery of the Paeroa Arts Centre daily until the end of the month.
DETAILS: Visit Trevor Lowe’s exhibition of Evanescence at Paeroa Arts Centre, 109 Normanby Rd, Paeroa, from 10am to 3pm daily.
