Interview: Stuart Murdoch
It’s a big welcome back to the MSM interview series, we kick off 2010 with a chat to Stuart Murdoch…
Whyalla 1998, by Stuart Murdoch.
you have been involved with photography for a long time, both on a professional level and for your own enjoyment. how did you start out and how has your outlook changed over the years? There is, in my memory, no definitive starting point where I decided I was going to actively pursue photography. I remember brief encounters with it in my later years of schooling. The turning point though really was a duty free camera that I’d bought before going away overseas as a young man in my early 20’s. I took plenty of photos but they left me wanting, and within six months I’d begun exploring my options in regards to further study and photography, and now here I am nearly 30 years later and I’m still enamoured by the power of what a photograph can say or tell, or not tell for that matter.
