Monica Morgan: Over Three Decades Living Life Through The Camera Lens, She’s Now Also Speaking About It
Sharing How-To Talks on Personal and Professional Empowerment Through Self-Image, Image Makeovers, Visual Branding, and Photography
Known for her distinct style of world-class images of celebrities, heads of state, pop icons, historic events, and the unsung heroes of everyday life, international photojournalist Monica Morgan is more than “a photographer.” She sees what others don’t; she captures what others can’t. Whether she’s freezing history or making it, Monica Morgan lives life through the lens. Her lens.
Now, she shares her vast knowledge on the importance of image using photography; her tips, techniques, and best practices in living the photographers’ life (whether you are one or not). She delivers talks and teachings on how to create power looks, be self-confident every time you show up, and put forth stunning images that serve to make a difference.
ENLIGHTENING and EMPOWERING SELF-IMAGE SECRETS GAINED FROM A LIFETIME in PHOTOGRAPHY
“For me, with each photo assignment, I see, and strive to capture, more than what is right in front of me. I shoot to capture the essence of the person, the people, or the entire scene in a way that visually tells the story. My method sees beyond each final two-dimensional photo, to lives lived, relationships forged, history having been made. From these, come enlightening, and empowering stories that must be told,” she said.
Throughout her career, Morgan’s drive to tell visual stories has made her one of the most well-known Detroit-area photographers, if not the most well-known in certain inside circles. An award-winning contributor, activist, and journalist, she is undisputedly among the world’s most highly recognized, accomplished, and sought-after African-American, female photographers; arguably, among the world’s top photographers, period.
REASONS to SPEAK
Morgan has persevered and fought through and past barriers, obstacles, and the actual hostility many female professionals have faced worldwide, in the male-dominated photography industry. Her experiences have shaped her mission to mentor young people, particularly young women in photography.
These days, serving as a weekly radio talk show host (Saturdays
910 AM and iHeart Radio), and with award-winning speaking engagements added to her credits, Morgan channels her decades of global experience, from the microphone and speakers’ stage, including teaching audiences how to best present themselves visually to the world.

“I share stories, experiences, and the image-making lessons I’ve learned, to inspire people from all walks of life to confidently take photos of themselves; photographs transforming their self-image into one they love, as so many others have done who I’ve photographed,” she explained.
Throughout her career, Morgan has mentored hundreds of young people, opened their minds to the world through photography, and even provided cameras to students who would have never otherwise experienced owning one.
Morgan ‘pictures’ a future where she continues to travel the globe documenting world events, people, and lifestyles through the lens of her camera. Moving forward, this future expands her Monica Morgan Speaks/Monica Morgan Photography reach to transforming lives through stories, and lessons in self-image through photography, sharing them with audiences, speaking from stages worldwide.
Morgan delivers transformational light and insight through her own lens; in her own voice, to audiences of the accomplished, the aspiring, as well as the unsung. She empowers them with the advantage and the value of knowing how to capture and present their best images, and thus, show up being their best selves.
