Trevor Fletcher, originally from Portsmouth, lived in London on and off during the late 1970s and 80s. His photographs are a fantastic record of the time. When asked whether he was a professional he answered. ‘I’m not a photographer, I just always loved taking photos’. He is a photographer and a good one. More of his photos can be seen at his Flickr site.
