Simon Murphy is a Glasgow-based documentary photographer and lecturer at Glasgow Clyde College who translates long-form street portraiture into digital storytelling. His work centers on the demographic diversity of his local district, most notably through his Govanhill series. This project, which has been exhibited at Street Level Photoworks and published as a monograph by Gomma Books, captures the human condition through high-contrast black and white analog imagery. Murphy has transitioned this traditional practice into the video format with his 100 Rolls series, a project documenting the technical and social process of shooting one hundred rolls of film within a single square mile. His portfolio includes professional assignments for The Guardian and The Big Issue, as well as editorial portraits of musicians like Bobby Gillespie and John Peel. By focusing on the intersection of community identity and analog craftsmanship, Murphy provides a technical look into darkroom processes and the empathetic engagement required for successful urban street photography.
