Documenting Reality

Documenting Reality
Between 1976-1991, documentary photographer Tish Murtha recorded the lives of communities in the North East of England. Highlighting social issues such as youth unemployment , the images offer a frank yet strikingly personal look at an age of political and societal transition.
