In this series, we get to know the people behind the portraits by Govanhill street photographer, Simon Murphy. Shaun Murawski, a poet and photographer appeared in our language issue.

Last week the Greater Govanhill show, kicked off Buenafest, by bringing listeners all the latest from the new issue of our magazine, packed with stories about local artists, culture and subcultures.

We caught up with Simon Murphy, before the release of his first book, GOVANHILL. He gave us insight into how the project first developed and how he decided what photo would feature on the cover.

Next up in our Behind the Portrait, where we profile people snapped by Simon Murphy, we speak to an ex-student of his, Marilena Vlachopoulou, who shares her passion for photography and music.

A new exhibition opened at the Street Level Photoworks last night celebrates the cultural diversity of this unique community in a visually stunning collection of co-produced works.
