Dazed Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Dazed MagazineInstagram)「“I can’t imagine our lives without photography or politics!” photographer Tish Murtha’s daughter Ella Murtha tells Dazed about growing up with the late photograher. “My mam lived and breathed photography, the camera was an extension of her.” Growing up in Elswick in the West End of Newcastle, Murtha had understood the power a camera could wield long before she was privy to the instrument’s mechanics: in her early teens she found a camera in one of the derelict houses she and her siblings would often explore. An advocate for her community in an era before discourse around ethics and ownership in relation to class and documentarians had become mainstream, Murtha remained undeterred by injustices she saw in the industry throughout her lifetime, separating from Side Gallery when she perceived their principles to be unaligned with her own, and inviting local critics to engage in a discussion after an exhibition of her photographs of juvenile jazz bands led her to become known as the ‘Demon Snapper’. Her work has since been acquired by Tate, while in March a Newcastle housing development opened in her name, the moniker selected by kids from a local primary school.
