..................... MARK MORAY - BIOGRAPHY ....................
Mark Moray is a photographer specialising in music artists, festivals, concerts and gigs.
Mark studied Interior Design at RMIT and Interior Decoration at the Melbourne College of Decoration. Mark’s passion for photography began in 1981 whilst studying Art and Design course and purchasing his first camera (film), a Minolta XG-1. He learnt the art of processing negatives, printing his own photos and setting up a dark room at home.
In 2015 Mark had his first music photos published in Rhythms magazine. His photos of ‘The Rolling Stones’ were linked to an article written by Sam Cutler the ex-tour manager of the Stones. Mark's work has been published in ‘Australian Musician Magazine’ and ‘CultureMad’ magazine which included his interviews with numerous artists including Tim Wheatley, Natalie Rize (Blue King Brown), Ken Murdoch (Taste) and Darren Harts. His work has also been published in books, magazines and on album covers.
One of Mark's career highlights was receiving a call from Uncle Archie Roach’s Management a week after his passing, requesting to use one of Mark's recent photos for the booklet at his funeral, with the approval of his family.
Over the previous decade, Mark has photographed numerous concerts and gigs around Melbourne and nationally including The Byron Bay Bluesfest, WOMADelaide, National Folk Festival, Mornington Peninsula Festivals and Maldon Folk festival. Mark's wife, Ros Jason, writes festival reviews which complement Mark's photos.
Mark’s work can be viewed on his website or on social media as ‘Wicked Rock Photography’.
