Tish Murtha (1956–2013) was a British documentary photographer whose work forms a sustained record of working-class life in late twentieth-century Britain.
Raised in Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne, Murtha studied documentary photography at Newport under David Hurn before returning to Newcastle in 1978. Her major bodies of work include Elswick Kids, Juvenile Jazz Bands, Youth Unemployment, Save Scotswood Works and Elswick Revisited.
Her photographs document childhood, youth unemployment and everyday life within the social and economic conditions of Newcastle’s West End. Photographing her own community from within, Murtha worked with a dignity and compassion that set her apart from outside observers. She is recognised as one of the most significant British documentary photographers of her generation.
Her work is held in public collections including the Arts Council Collection, British Council, National Portrait Gallery and Tate Britain.
