Scott Murphy is a Canadian fine art photographer based in Kingston, Ontario. His practice explores identity, transition, and the ways photography can transform attention into image. Working across analog and digital processes, his projects engage with place, memory, material culture, and the visual systems that shape how we see.
Murphy recently completed an MA in Photography at Falmouth University (UK), where his work focused on psychogeographic practice, sequencing as meaning-making, and the relationship between image and narrative. His broader practice is informed by a 30-year career in the Royal Canadian Air Force, including service as a Search and Rescue pilot, and by his transition from military service while living with PTSD. Photography offers a way to channel hypervigilance into a creative form of attention.
His work has been published and exhibited in academic and community contexts, and he continues to develop projects that bridge personal experience with broader cultural, environmental, and historical frameworks.
