Tish Murtha's powerful photo series captures unemployed teenagers of 1980s Newcastle. Photographer Tish Murtha first starting taking pictures as a defence against creepy guys.
Growing up in the west end of Newcastle, she’d often get pestered by ‘middle class kerb crawlers’, calling to young women to ask them for sex. Tish’s solution? Whipping out her camera.

Les photographies oubliées de la classe ouvrière de Tish Murtha dévoilent la jeunesse sans emploi de Newcastle. Au début des années 80, lorsque la Grande-Bretagne a connu la dictature de la première ministre Margaret Hilda Thatcher, une grande partie du pays insulaire a connu une vague de dépression économique.
En conséquence, et comme dans le reste du monde, certains quartiers pauvres de l’Angleterre ont connu un chômage généralisé. Alors que les jeunes d’aujourd’hui sont aussi à la recherche d’un emploi (avec moins de pression que les générations précédentes, surtout dans le monde occidental), la nécessité de trouver un emploi autrefois était primordiale.

At the height of his career in 1970, when both he and Don McCullin were contracted to the Sunday Times Magazine, he walked away from stills photography to make documentary films. He travelled the world making films for the following 30 years until illness and a partial loss of sight in 2000 forced him to return to his first love and his photographic archive. Magazine features, lecturing and exhibitions swiftly followed. John Bulmer and his photography had been rediscovered. Derek Bishton.
