At 25,
Tom Murray, LBIPP, was the youngest photographer to be commissioned by the
Royal Family. Mr. Murray is the holder of a variety of international awards
for his photographic work. He apprenticed to Lord Snowdon and honed his
skills as a portrait photographer. This lead to a long resume of portrait
subjects such as Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, and Sir Dirk Bogarde to name
a few.
In the Summer of 1968, Mr. Murray was invited to join a publicity photo
shoot for a popular rock and roll group by a fellow photographer. As it
turned out, the band that they were shooting was The Beatles.
From two rolls of film, Mr. Murray kept 23 negatives which have been hailed
as some of the best photographs ever taken of the group. The shoot was so
last minute, and the schedule so hectic, the collection of photographs have
become known as‘The Mad Day: Summer Of ‘68’
The first 16 of these 23 are now available as an extremely collectable, UK
Limited Edition Giclee print. The edition size is 195, and each print is
hand signed by Tom Murray. They are presented in an extra deep bevel mount,
ready for framing, and will certainly appeal to any Beatles fan. |
