Murphy's recent work The Male Grooming Series takes the groomed (older) male body as its subject matter, detailing specific rituals of grooming and hygiene. Murphy depicts each grooming process as a series of photographs, much as Muybridge documented individual body movements in his celebrated 'Laterals'.
