August is a new series by photographer Trebor Wills. He has worked with the photographic medium for the last 27 years, well before the digital era. Trebor has learned his way through using all aspects of photography while working on fashion shoots, movies and in the music industry. His images have been published on in most magazines and newspapers. He was part of the pop exhibition at Hamilton's in 1984, had a toring solo exhibition entitled "UK Pop" in Japan in 1985, the exhibitions My Pop Icons" at Tom Blau in 1999 and in "Icons op POP 59-99" at the National Portrait Gallery with other bits of his images exhibited at the NPG as well in 1999.
However, when the "digital revolution" happened, it opened a whole range of new possibilities allowing him to expand his work artistically and explore ideas in capturing light which continues to play a major part in Trebor Wills new series.
Here, he transforms mundane images into extraordinary abstract photographs where light and colour overtake the figurative subject. In vain, the viewer tries to decipher the mysterious and alluring subjects or objects at the origin of the image. The "Pop icon" or material object essential to Pop Art has vanished for the benefit of a transcendent image but its power of attraction and appeal is still very much present. At the end, what matters most for Trebor Wills is that he still "gets excited about pressing the button, breaking the rules and making images.
