Simon Murray was born in Perth, Scotland and with a love of photography that started over 25 years ago. Simon has developed his passion into a style that evokes a sense of transparency and enjoyment from his subjects.
People in front of his lens, genuinely have a good time. Simon calls that therapy; not sure if that’s for him or the subject.
His style allows freedom of movement and inspiration and Simon can be seen photographing a wide range of subjects. Mostly people, whether that be in fashion, music or the arts where he has worked with individuals from models, actors and presenters to large companies such as BT, Armani, The Scotsman and Vidal Sassoon.
After studying photography for 4 years in Glasgow and finishing with a Distinction in an HND in Photography, I went freelance and travelled the world a bit. At one point I got a job assisting a top photographer in his Broadway Studio in New York. In London I had photography work exhibited in the V&A Museum and the Golden Square Gallery in SoHo. Also while bringing up a young family I managed to shoehorn in a BA Hons Degree in Visual Communication Design at Middlesex University, London where I received a First.
My background is in Fashion and Portrait photography which I have enjoyed doing for over 25 years, photographing people, models, celebrities, actors and musicians.
