A Fun and Creative Local Photographer
Jackie Osborne interviews Trevor Mant and learns about his journey from the building trade to creative photography.
Trevor was in the building trade for over 30 years until his body could no longer take the pressure. He was born and bred in Portsmouth but came to Thatcham because of his partner Jenny.
His photography interest started when his brother used to go out at an early age to take pictures and admire the different effects each photo produced.
Trevor believes that his talent originated from the ability to combine his hands, brain and originality. The result presents itself in areas of his work. “It is nice to have the variety within my work which includes anything from passport photos, scanning and restoration of old photos, studio shoots, repairing cameras and taking LinkedIn profile photos to the large weddings.”
Top hat and tails is the market that Trevor is looking for in the future. “I feel privileged to be part of someone’s special day as I can see it all, I get the best view and I can take in what a lot of people cannot see. I would love to do top
end weddings.”
He opened the shop in Thatcham 18 months ago when it came up for sale and it coincided with when he was ready to take photography full time. He absolutely loves every photoshoot he has been involved in to date and you can certainly capture that passion when you speak to him.
With a very reasonable starting price for a registry wedding, which includes pictures of the bride, groom, best man and bridesmaids prior, during and after as well as attending the venue. For larger weddings Trevor and his partner Jenny team up for the day and if video is required his son Phil also joins him.
What’s next?
The studio in Thatcham will undergo renovation in the near future, which will allow more flexibility when photographing and welcoming customers.
