Publisher's Description
The long awaited photography book by award-winning photographer Simon Murphy. Self-described as "the thriving place" this suburb of Glasgow is a place where a myriad of different walks of life collide. 18,000 inhabitants, 52 nations in 0.82 square-kilometers: circumstances for unique characters to thrive and countless stories to unfold. Simon Murphy with his black and white photographs, he eloquently captures the personality of his subjects that seem relaxed, truly in their own character and remain open and vulnerable for the spectator to connect immediately. The high quality of almost studio-like portraits in contrast to the harsh surroundings makes this book a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Simon immersed himself fully into the project to create an ethereal yet grounded visual memoir of Govanhill.
