  • Tish Murtha exhebition video

    Following on from a thread about Tish Murtha at the end of March, in The Lounge, I've discovered this video about an exhibition at The Photographers Gallery that was held almost years ago. It featured her original Olympus camera that she started her photography with. A frame from the vide is below if anyone wants to ID the camera.

    I think it is an OM-1n. That is as much from memory of seeing at the exhibition as identifying it from the photo!

      Here's some enhanced images of the Camera. Looks like an OM-1, no sign of the "n" on the top.

          Thanks - I enjoyed the short video, a pity I've missed the exhibition.

          We watched the BBC programme Tish and enjoyed that too. In that her daughter shows the camera to David Hurn and it looked like an OM-1 to me. She shows him the original hire purchase document for it reminding him he was the guarantor - if you screen grab it off iPlayer it is quite faint but I'm pretty sure it says Olympus OM-1

          BBC iPlayer link is here for anyone who missed it
          Tish Murtha used her camera to celebrate overlooked working-class lives and to fight for social change in 1980s Britain. Her daughter, Ella, uncovers her poignant story.
