Penelope Morgan, photographer
The photographer

Hello — I'm Penelope.

A photographer and artist living on Awabakal land in Newcastle. I came to photography the long way — via a fashion design degree at Whitehouse, then years working as a publicist for labels like Levi's and Sheridan, then years exploring and creating, acting and modelling. I was in front of the camera and also working behind the scenes on different projects in Australia and abroad.

It was on those sets that I quietly fell in love with the other side of the lens. The framing, the feeling, the way a photograph can hold something language can't. Eventually I picked up the camera myself — and I haven't really put it down since.

My work is inspired by old-world glamour and the softness and strength of our inner world. I make images that ask you to be still — to slow down and feel the beauty of being human.

Thank you, truly.

Your enquiry is on its way. I'll be in touch within 24 hours.

It made me quite emotional to see images which truly captured the delicate beauty and radiant personality of my child. They reveal so much soul — it's how you see your child with your own eyes.
