Trevor Spiro, aged 52 (birth-sign Capricorn) is a successful entrepreneur who combines business interests in real estate development and financial investment with a great passion for professional fashion photography. This website illustrates a small selection of his work and clicking on 'More' at the left hand side of this page provides an insight into some of his other interesting activities.
Trevor's first book entitled So You Want To be A Model was published in 1992 and sixteen years later is still considered a reference source of impartial information for those considering a career in modelling - an updated and condensed version of this book may be freely downloaded by clicking on 'More'. His second book Girls, a coffee-table style book was published in September 2007 which he both styled and photographed. His subjects are some of the world's most beautiful women, most being everyday people (not models) whom he happens to meet by chance in shops, cafés, restaurants and airport lounges! For Trevor, beauty is in the subject's personality, not just in her looks.
In the early 1990's he founded Assassin Model Management and the highly regarded Scene Magazine (which in latter years he also edited) described by the renowned photographer David Bailey as the world's best fashion magazine after Italian Vogue. Trevor maintains the reputation of Scene was down to his dedicated and loyal team, not to himself.
Trevor is a Licentiate of The Royal Photographic Society, a Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts and of The Institute of Directors, and has a BSc degree in aerospace engineering from Imperial College, University of London. He also studied holography (3-dimensional imaging with lasers) at the Royal College of Art under the world famous Graham Saxby. A former columnist for Professional Photographer magazine, he has won many competitions including the Olympus International Salon in 1996. In May 2004 he won a prestigious award from the International Society of Poets for his poetry which has since been published in the United States and Europe. Trevor has also lectured on the topic of fashion and psychology at many of the top British universities.
Although his businesses are based in London, Trevor spends several months of the year in his true 'emotional' home of Tel Aviv, Israel where he is involved in some amazing activities that can be found by clicking on 'More' at left.
