Updated: May 22, 2020


Steve Murphy is a Luton-based photographer, a navy veteran, record collector and all-round great guy with an interesting story to tell.

A Leica in hand, a navy-blue fisherman hat, Steve is a classic photographer with a big personality. His last name being Murphy he was nicknamed Spud, given to him from the “navy”. Something that’s followed through to this day. “Anyone called Murphy is Spud, Murphy is a traditional Irish name, and obviously potatoes.” So, ‘Spud’ it is.

Having met Steve through Andy Chesham of Vinyl Revelations, Luton. Steve is well-known in the Luton area for his awesome photography. Being a regular at the famous Luton jazz venue, The Bear Club. You can find Steve on a Harley riding in his motorcycle club or hunting through racks of vinyl. And of course, shooting here there and everywhere on his vintage Leica M2 camera.
