As a photographer, I strive to evoke my freedom to observe. I select images that embrace me with a touch of beauty, history, emotion, intrigue, serenity or whimsy.
Initially trained as a concert pianist, I have worked to turn my lifelong passion for photography into a powerful visual statement. My inspiration began in the field. From the moment I discovered a beautiful flowering cactus or noticed the fine interior detail of a Protea flower, the final image begins to take form. Working with a digital camera, I focus on the tiny details of the natural world.
Each photograph begins with actual light, composition, and color. I capture the images as they exist, then bring them into the digital darkroom to transform them into the unique photographic world. Through this process, I have searched to find a deeper understanding of life and to celebrate the beauty of simple moments.  Read more about Katherine Morgan.
