Simon Murray was born in Perth, Scotland and with a love of photography that started over 25 years ago.
I have developed my passion for photography into a style that evokes a sense of transparency and enjoyment.
“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”.
My style allows freedom of movement and inspiration and I can be seen photographing a wide range of subjects. Mostly people, whether that be in fashion, music or the arts where I have 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.
These days I am back in my beloved city of Perth. Perhaps the work is different from that down in Leeds and London but I am prepared to take on any challenge big or small.
New gear has arrived at Simon Murray Photography in the form of a Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera.
Get in touch to book me for your Party or Prom night in or around Perth, you bring the madness I capture it!
Recently, we had the pleasure of a trip down to Kingswood Hotel, Burntisland where we were invited by Nikala the wedding and events co-ordinator there to do a shoot for the hotel.
