Marie Claire UK | October 2015

The October 2015 Edition of Marie Claire is out on the shelves in the UK and several of my images are published as part of a Brazil travel story. Not all the images published are mine, but they used one of my images as the opening page, which is quite cool. Unfortunately they credited me as Kerry Murphy, not Kerry Murray, but as the issue is already out, there´s nothing to be done about that… maybe I should consider a name change? 😉 Click HERE to see my original images taken in Salvador da Bahia at the end of last year.   

Booking.com Travel Guides – Albufeira

Earlier this year I spent a week in Albufeira photographing the city and surroundings for Booking.com. They have recently launched a new “Travel Guides” feature on their site, exclusively for people who have booked accommodation through them, and they asked me to photograph their new guide for Albufeira. I can´t post the link here because it´s only visible to booking.com members who have reserved accommodation in the area but I grabbed a few screen shots to give you an idea of how my images were used…

Hiking Lions Head Cape Town South Africa

Cape Town | South Africa

Cape Town is my hometown so I don´t tend to take a lot of photos when I´m here… my time is spent more on seeing friends and family and doing those everyday mundane things that are familiar, things that mean “home”. Stuff that you take for granted when you live somewhere suddenly becomes the most important thing ever when you live away. Things like a decent cup of tea, Marmite on Provita, waking up at dawn to climb a mountain… So these photos are a bit random and don´t have a very clear story line, but sometimes that´s just how…

Accent Magazine for AeroMexico – July 2015

Tear sheets from an article I photographed a few months back for Accent Magazine, AeroMexico´s first and business class in-flight mag. 

Travel Photography West Coast South Africa

Paternoster, West Coast | South Africa

Paternoster is a small fishing village on the west coast of South Africa and even though it´s in the same country as the Transkei coast in the Eastern Cape, it could´t be more different if it tried. Some 1500km´s of coastline separate the two… the distance is so great that they don´t even share the same ocean and instead of rolling green lawns there are rolling white sand dunes. Paternoster is on the icy Atlantic ocean and though the sea is clear blue and it looks like you´re in Greece, the water is cold enough to take your breath away…

Mdumbi Beach Transkei

Mdumbi Beach, Transkei | South Africa

During our most recent visit to South Africa, we flew into Joburg and drove down to Cape Town via the coast. During this road trip we spent a bit of time on the Transkei coast, in the Eastern Cape, and my mind was absolutely blown by how amazing this part of the country is. It was my first time here but certainly won´t be the last. The landscape here is so incredible…colourful, round Xhosa huts scattered across rolling green hills covered in the most incredibly manicured lawns, I could just imagine hordes of British garden enthusiasts going nuts over the impeccable…

van life road trip portugal

Van Life | Costa Vicentina

Last autumn, right before we jumped on a plane to Brazil, we hired a camper van and did a little road trip down the Costa Vicentina, the south west coast of Portugal… half in the Alentejo and half in the Algarve, this coastline is without a doubt one of my favourite parts of Portugal. The campervan is all part of a bigger plan that we have, to take some time off work and travel around Europe… it´s all still a work in progress and I´ll tell you more about it once we have a more definite idea of when and…

Peneda Geres National Park | Portugal

In March this year, towards the end of winter, we took a drive up north to spend some time with friends and explore a part of Portugal we don´t know very well… the Minho region, more specifically, the Peneda Geres National Park. We spent the weekend at Sobrenatura in the tiny town of Gração, just outside of the national park and spent our time hiking and eating and drinking and sitting in front of the fireplace and eating a bit more… The food here is incredible and when you travel with Portuguese people, you know that you´re going to be eating…

Travel photography Salvador da Bahia Brazil

Salvador da Bahia | Brazil

The last stop on our Bahian roadtrip was the capital city, Salvador da Bahia… we took the ferry boat across from Itaparica and spent 3 days in the city. Salvador had been on my wish list for a very long time and it´s always a bit of a strange experience finally arriving in a place that you´ve dreamed so long of visiting. Of course, it´s never the same as you dreamt it, these things never happen when or how you expect them to… I had envisioned a smaller city, not so busy and certainly hadn´t expected to see as many tourists….

Boipeba Island Bahia Brazil

Boipeba Island, Bahia | Brazil

Boipeba island was definitely the highlight of our trip and I could have easily stayed here a week or more. In the end we did stay longer than planned and cut Morro de São Paulo out of our itinerary which I think was one of the best last-minute decisions we made. This island is incredible, it feels as though you´ve stepped back in time… there are no cars, only horses and donkey carts. The town is small and everything is within walking distance. Kids and dogs roam free in the streets, safe from speeding traffic (because there isn´t any). The beaches…
