Meet Murray.
A photographer, surfer and one of the familiar faces behind Manly’s morning culture.
Most mornings you’ll find him at the beach before sunrise, camera in hand, documenting the people who choose to start their day in the ocean. For more than a decade he’s been quietly capturing the rituals, friendships and shared moments that make this community so special.
Beyond the beach, Murray is part owner of The Frame Room, where the team prints, frames and shares the stories he’s collected over the years. It’s also become a place where local artists, photographers and the community come to preserve and celebrate the work that means something to them.
Like many of the people featured in Livelihood, Murray has built a life around what he loves. Not just documenting a community, but being an active part of it.
