Trevor and Faye Yerbury are two of the UK’s leading photographers of the nude and have, over more than 15 years, amassed an incredible archive of work that will be released exclusively onto their web site over the next few years.

Trevor has been a photographer for more than 30 years starting in the family portrait studio established by his great grandfather in 1864. Faye is also a professional photographer, trained by Trevor, as well as a talented make-up artist and stylist. Trevor and Faye between them have been awarded 15 Kodak Gold Awards and in 1994 Trevor was awarded the title Kodak Photographer of the Year. Their work has been featured in many books and magazines on photography and they have appeared on several television and radio programmes in the UK.

The new website will contain showcase galleries of work from their exhaustive archives as well as new work which the couple are currently working on including the exclusive series ‘Victoria’s Summer’ which follows a young girls journey from teenager into adulthood and features the stunning 18 year old Victoria V photographed in her historic country house. This body of work will be accompanied by extracts from Victoria’s own personal diary revealing the thoughts, dreams and emotions of young women.

Recently the Yerbury’s were commissioned by a new 5* hotel to provide all the artwork for the bedrooms and suites. They have produced over 200 framed works, some over 1 1/2 meters in length; all of female nude images taken from their vast archive. This is probably the only hotel in the world to have commissioned a single photographer to provide images of the nude for all their rooms and makes the Yerbury’s two of the leading photographers of the nude.

‘In an unforgiving world where the brutality of body fascism rules, the Yerbury’s gentle eyes and candid camera lovingly embraces the

heart-stopping beauty of the female body. Stripped of their clothes, these women are as elegant as sinuous art deco statues and as hypnotic as oil paintings created centuries ago. The Yerbury’s sensual pleasure in textures – skin against stone, silk, sky and sand – is joyous. Naked and unashamed we come into the world, naked we leave it. The Yerbury’s remind us of the life-affirming nature of our sexuality.
