Elliott Morgan – London Based Fashion Photographer
He’s shot and worked as photography editor for Disorder Magazine, been published in numerous publications, including INDIE Magazine , IDOL Magazine and photographed A-listers like Rupert Grint. Not too shabby for a university dropout barely in his 20s. I had a chat with London based fashion photographer Elliott Morgan about what makes him tick, his skin deep love of Nikon and his upcoming projects.
Daniel: What’s up Elliott?
Elliott: Hey Daniel
Daniel: Let’s get started. Tell me about yourself, where did all of this begin?
Elliott: I am a 21 year old photographer based in London (originally from Coventry). I am a university drop-out, having studied fine art photography, I left the course to concentrate on my personal fashion based work. My interest in photography began when I finished school aged 16. I didn’t want to continue school so I joined a local college course in Photography. I photographed my friends as part of my projects, when local models expressed interest in shoots. It all grew on from that.
Daniel: What do you remember most from your childhood?
Elliott: I remember school, friends, being silly and computer games. I have nostalgic memories in growing up, I was always encouraged to do whatever I wanted, something I believe has influenced my life choices.
Daniel: What are you working on at the moment?
Elliott: I have a lot of things in the pipeline, all a secret and free to see in September, sorry to be cryptic but hopefully worth the wait.
Daniel: Who or what do you think is iconic?
Elliott: I believe something which sticks in your memory is iconic, it could stay with you for good or bad reasons. At the present time, I think Lady Gaga is the most iconic thing in the world. I am not a fan of her music, and not always her outfits, but she constantly pushes the boundaries.
Daniel: What are you currently obsessed with?
Elliott: In photography terms I am currently obsessed with natural light. I love the softness and unpredictability of it. It brings back the fun to shooting, rather than fabricated artificial light. In real life terms, I am obsessed with energy drinks.
Daniel: What surprises you?

How do I choose a good Digital SLR camera for sports photography?
Friday, July 22nd, 2011
My main area of intrest is taking action shots and sports photos. Can anyone help or give me some suggestions to what I should be looking at? I’m planning to buy, but I don’t have an unlimited amount of funds, if you know what I mean. As a matter of fact, I’m kind of strapped. Any suggestions on the best deal with greatest performance?
Sports photography is one of the harder subjects to shoot for a camera. Especially if it’s indoors.
What you need is a camera with a fast auto focus, and some lenses that are bright, and have a decent zoom. Unfortunately, that is not cheap. You can probably get by with a $700 camera (Nikon D40x, Canon XTi) but you’re going to spent a lot on good lenses.
If your outdoors with lots of light I suppose you could get by with something like a Sigma 70-300 lens for under $200, but if your indoors at all you’ll need something like the 70-200 2.8 from Canon for over $1000 or Nikon for over $1500.
PS. Using a video camera like the first person suggested will NOT get you good quality pictures. If you’ve ever seen frame grabs from movies or something they never look good. Top end DSLR’s are plenty fast for shooting action, they’re just expensive.
