Pop Cultured - The Music Photography of Mark McNulty

About Me

I am a photographer based in Liverpool in the UK. I work mostly in music and fashion but also do a lot of commercial work. My work has appeared in magazines such as Mixmag, The Guardian, Sunday Times, The Face, Italian Vogue, Time Out, Plastic Rhino, Sixtynine, Raygun and DJ Magazine. As well as my commissioned jobs I also work on a variety of personal projects. The first of these was published in my first book which is called 'Rocketships & Windmills' which is a photographic document of crazy golf courses across the UK. My second book, 'Capital Of Pop Culture', features 20 years of my Liverpool music based work and will be published Spring 2008. I also exhibit regularly in Liverpool and my work can be seen on the walls of Probe Records, on Slater Street, and Metropolitan Bar on Berry Street. In August 2008 I also produced a project called Eighthundred which was shown at the Grand Hall on Liverpool's Albert Dock. For this, I put together a team of 8 photographers and we went out and photographed 800 people on the occasion of Liverpool's 800th birthday. All 800 people were photographed in a day and we printed and hung the photographs within 48 hours at a show which attracted 1,000's of visitors over 9 days. My main website is www.mcnulty.co.uk
