Photographic Memory Show | Episode 14: Simon Murphy

Photographic Memory: a podcast by Jonathan Daniel Pryce, exploring the memories contained within a photo.

A PODCAST EXPLORING THE MEMORIES WE SHARE THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY

In this episode, Simon Murphy shares his Photographic Memory: an image of The Beatles by Linda McCartney. Simon is a portrait photographer based in Scotland and seeing this photo as a young man when he worked as a postman, set him on the path to become a professional image maker. Simon is known for his arresting street portraits from travels to exotic locations around the world like Bangladesh, Rwanda and Cambodia. He has also photographed a number of familiar faces over his 20 year career including the Dalai Lama, Noel Gallagher and John Hurt. We discuss his working process, his latest project documenting the most ethnically diverse neighbourhood in Glasgow and finding career success during the pandemic.
