Interview with Grace Robertson, photojournalist

“When pioneering Scottish photojournalist Grace Robertson nervously submitted her first set of photographs to Picture Post magazine, she did so under a male pseudonym.

“I was Dick Muir,” she laughs, explaining that she married the first name of a young man she had once fancied to her Glaswegian mother’s maiden name. “I was rather pleased to put unrequited love to good use,” she remembers. At the time, Robertson was barely 18 years old, dreaming of becoming a photojournalist for the respected magazine.”
