My APA-DC Interview
I had the honor this week of being interviewed and photographed as the American Photographic Artists DC Chapter featured member: http://apadc.com/2013/04/april-featured-member-mike-morgan/. Mike Olliver took some great portraits of me, especially considering the subject matter he had to work with… I’m posting the interview here, but please check out the APA-DC website for the original and read [...]
Personal in Nature
So, as promised I’ve finally added something new to my website: a “Personal Work” section. To begin there are two galleries, although I might add more if I’m feeling bold, or if I get a particularly good response to this. I’m wary of bogging the site down with too many portfolios and images (I have [...]
Introducing a Second Website
I’m proud to announce I’ve just added a new website to my repertoire, to showcase the work that I’m often called on to do that falls outside of the portrait-centric scope of my main website: the architectural, interiors design, food, and product photography. The new web domains for this work are: http://www.mikemorganstudios.com/ http://www.mikemorganstudios.net/ This [...]
Where Have I Been (redux)?
Well, I certainly hope I’m a better photographer than blogger! I have truly neglected this blog in a complete dereliction of duties. I have my list of excuses ready, though. It’s been a complete whirlwind of a year. I’ve been on the road a ton in the past few months, with shoots in Atlanta, San [...]
Where Have I Been?
So, I’ve been awfully quiet on my blog over the last month — that’s because I’ve been incredibly busy here with shoots, including a three week stretch with a shoot every single day. Yes, 21 straight days of shoots. For those of you unfamiliar with the business, that’s a lot. A busy week might have [...]
Touchdown
If I look a little too excited in this photo, it might be because i’m standing next to one of my boyhood idols, Dan Marino. Don’t worry, I didn’t go all fanboy on him — I kept it strictly professional (aside from the obligatory crew photo at the end). Dan was a great subject for [...]
Turning Night into Day
So this is what we look like after a 15 hour shoot day. Not bad, eh? A combination of the magic of photography and our ability to muster a last bit of energy after many hours of hard work (I think the allure of having a seat helped, too). Sometimes the availability of a location [...]
Preakness Parties
Very pleased with my spread in the current issue of Maryland Life Magazine that I just received. Many of you saw the behind the scenes portrait of art director Marie Boshoff, my assistant Meagan, and I looking goofy in the paddock, over on my Facebook page (it was a long day!), and these are the [...]
Some Conventional Photography
Just wrapped up three days of shooting with my team at the enormous Dscoop HP Graphic Users Conference at the sprawling Gaylord National Harbor Convention Center. We shot over 100 portraits on the convention floor and covered a variety of speakers and entertainment ranging from the fascinatingly motivational Sally Hogshead, and twelve-time Olympic medalist Dara [...]
It’s a Team Effort
We wrapped a great shoot yesterday on location at AARP’s sprawling headquarters, and I was reminded how valuable it is to surround yourself with a great team of people to pull it all off without a hitch. Here’s my recipe: start with a top-notch first assistant like Meagan Clemons, a wonderful makeup artist like Leah [...]
