Brian Morgan. MA.MBA.FRPS.FBIPP is a Writer, Photographer and Artist currently engaged in Doctoral Research at Northumbria University. He is one of a handful of photographers to have been awarded Fellowships both with the Royal Photographic Society (RPS* ) and the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP*). A joint recipient of the Royal Photographic Society’s Documentary Photography Awards his work recently completed a UK-Wide Tour. He is a member of the Martin Parr Foundation and Federation of European Photographers. Brian’s forthcoming book ‘No Safety Net’ follows his personal journey through the trauma of losing his identical twin brother, his own diagnosis of a life changing illness and the role played in his attempted recovery by unlikely befrienders, a small Travelling Circus with whom he subsequently journeyed for a number of years. Further similar-based books:' Searching for Appleby Fair,' a Study of Romany Gypsy Culture, and 'Who Am I '? The Post Trauma Lives of Twin-less Twins are due for completion in late 2026. 'Blyth Diary' is a photo-visual essay featuring the communities of North Blyth ( Cambois ) and Blyth itself. ‘Ahead of the Curve’ is a joint project undertaken with Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary exploring the issues affecting scoliosis patients. A keen astronomer, humanist and lifelong conservationist Brian actively supports the Marine Conservation Society and Friends of the Earth as well as the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres. He provides Pro bono support to local Arts based projects. He returned to photography as part of a lengthy rehabilitation from life changing illness after an absence of over 30 years. Consequently, his photographic antecedents are still firmly etched in Film, most of it, Ilford Black and White. His creative vision - inexorably bound not only to his professional past and Humanitarian beliefs but also a personal history tied to his experience of emotional trauma and physical disability - is forged in the belief: 'The quality of life to which everyone has an inalienable right, is diminished for want of inclusion for all. But hope prevails through the power of Art, to bridge the gap between having and not having, between knowing and not knowing.'
