the TREVOR KEY website

The Trevor Key web site contains historical information about Trevor’s life and his career as well as links to some of the public web sites which display his creative output and some information about the Trevor Key Archive which is under development.

Trevor Key was one of the most innovative and talented 'pre-Photoshop' photographers to emerge from the London scene in the 1960s but his career was cut short by his untimely death in 1995. Like many talented artists he was both modest and rather careless of personal fame and fortune and as a result posthumous information about him is somewhat haphazardly organized. This web site is intended to rectify the situation and provide a single hub from which all of Trevor's creative contributions are identifiable and can be accessed.

Trevor himself was usually dismayed when introduced as "the photographer who did the Tubular Bells album cover" and would protest that he had produced many other images of equal importance, a fact that the linked web sites comprehensively demonstrate.  Nevertheless, if any album cover image from those times can be truly described as  "iconic", it is surely the one he created for Mike Oldfield's album.

The Trevor Key Web Site is managed by the Estate of Trevor Key.
