Elizabeth Murphy
Elizabeth Murphy started photographing when she was eight years old and her grandfather, who is also a photographer, bought her her very first camera. She did photography as a hobby for a long time until deciding to pursue it as a career when she was twenty and enrolled in the photography program at MATC. She has a passion for forensics and special effects, both of which she incorporates frequently in her photography. She also photographs more “traditional” (but still fun) portrait sessions.
