Tony originally studied Engineering and Mathematics at Trinity College Dublin and worked for many years in the manufacturing engineering industry. During this time he also practised Fine Art and Landscape photography, hand-printing all of his own work. He has had numerous exhibitions in Ireland and has received many awards at national and international levels including the Blue Ribbon Distinction
of the National de l'Art Photographique. In 2005, fulfilling a lifetime ambition, he left his job as Engineering Manager of a multinational company and became a full time photographer launching Tony G Murray Photography, in his home town of Naas. Having a very strong background in traditional printing he soon became an expert in Digital Fine Art Printing. He won the contract for copying and reproducing the WB Yeats collection for Lissadell House in Sligo. In 2006 he then set up an additional commercial venture, Murray Imaging Studios in Naas, Co. This successful company specialises in copying and digitising artwork and producing museum quality Digital Pigment Fine Art prints. He continues to sell his own fine art prints to national and international clients and is represented by Tuckmill Gallery, Naas. In June 2008 two of his images were awarded the Diamond Standard by the IPPA , the highest mark attainable. In 2009 Tony was awarded his Associateship of the Irish Professional Photographers Association, AIPPA.
