Morgan was born in 1985 in Philadelphia. Six years later she began photographing using a camera with
explosive, disposable flash bulbs and has been going at it ever since. This camera was the first of many
which over the course of the next decade spanned the gamut from Polaroid to pinhole. Twelve years
after that first flash fired, she attended Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Upon
graduating she received the Rosenberg Travel Fellowship, awarded to continue her photographic
romping throughout Iceland. In February 2010 she returned to Iceland for a month long stay at the
NES Artist Residency, and has been lured back twice since.


Places in and moments of transition are a motivating theme in her work. An ongoing series of portraits
of her sisters and brother (now ages fourteen and eleven respectively) and of other children their age aim
to capture the emotional and physical tensions in the passage from childhood to adulthood. Morgan's
ongoing work in Iceland focuses on the psychological impact of a geographical environment and how
geology can metaphorically represent different psychological states. She draws from personal
experience to find themes that resonate in all of us: the universal fear of isolation or change.
She strives to create something unidentifiable but familiar to suggest that there is more substance
to connect with beneath the surface of the photograph.In recent years her work has been shown in several
exhibitions and publications including a solo show at the Gulf & Western Gallery, group exhibitions at
the New York Photo Festival, the Invisible Dog Art Center, Winkleman Gallery, Milk Studio Gallery, the
Lower East Side Girls Gallery and Texas Woman's University. Her work has been featured on Daily Candy
as part of "Women In Photography" as well as the feminist issue of Capricious Magazine.
