Gunnie Moberg

In 1986 Moberg started a collaboration with the poet George Mackay Brown. Together, they published five books in which Moberg's photographs interweaved with George Mackay Brown's poetry. She also collaborated with the Norwegian author Liv Kjørsvik Schei. This collaboration gave birth to The Orkney Story (1985) and The Shetland Story (1988).

Her husband ran a bookshop in Stromness called 'Stromness Books & Prints', which published her first photography book in 1979. Between 1977 and 1979, the St Magnus Festival and the Pier Arts Centre were established. The St Magnus Festival appointed her photographer in residence; a role that she held for nearly thirty years.

Morberg's first publication was Stone Built in 1979. In this book, the photographer collected 18 aerial pictures she took across Orkney. She subsequently published a number of photography books. Her main subjects were the landscapes of the North Atlantic.

She began by working at a photographer's studio in Gothenburg but moved to Edinburgh, Scotland a year later. In Edinburgh she worked as an au pair and studied pottery at the Edinburgh College of Art, where she met Californian artist Tam MacPhail. They married in January 1961 and had four sons. They initially settled in Argyll, but later moved to Orkney in 1976, after Gunnie Moberg's visit in 1975.
