Girls Behaving Badly

Girls feel comfortable in front of Trevor Watson's lens - this much is evident. His approach with his models is unique: he establishes a dialogue and encourages them to find a different, sometimes hidden persona within themselves.

Add his topspin of wry humour and obvious technical talents to his conspiratorial ease of communication, and the viewer is seduced - in more ways than one - by the extraordinary erotic power of Watson's images.

Girls Behaving Badly is an anthology of his girls behaving... just as they please: by themselves, with other girls, staking their claim in the urban landscape or losing themselves in some natural wilderness. Fetish is treated half-seriously, half tongue-in-cheek, but even here the beauty of the female body is never ignored.

Despite being one of the most widely published black & white photographers in this country, this was the first collection of Watson's work to be gathered together in single volume.
