David Morgan began shooting headshots in New York in 1975 

As a former actor, he created his techniques from an actor’s point of view.  He always rehearses and directs actors before his sessions begin.  Now, with digital we can review that work instantly!

He has photographed over 14,000 actor’s headshots and, today, he is recommended by the networks, top agencies, manager and schools as one of New York’s preferred specialists in this highly competitive field.  His sessions are fun, relaxed, thoughtful and process oriented. 

Capturing the real you, looking your best, while clearly defining your authentic casting range is his primary goal.  He understands the crucial role this image plays as a ‘casting tool’ in your career and works with you to achieve all your goals for your new headshots.  Whether you are a beginner or a pro, each session is catered to your needs.

His celebrity subjects have included Rosie O’Donnell, Jerry Mitchell, Jason Moore, Calvin Klein, Harvey Fierstein, Nancy Marchand, Chris Meloni, Marg Helgenberger, Reid Shelton, Mario Cantone, Nathan Lane, Eartha Kitt, Bruce Vilanche, Charles Busch, Amy Sedaris, Michael Musto, Paul Rudnick, Jane Powell, Malcolm Gladwell, Orson Bean, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Ron Nyswaner, Kristine W., Lonnie Gordon, Michael O’Keefe, Michael Mulheren, Cady Huffman, Kurt Peterson, Penn & Teller, John Waters, Sandra Bernhard, Charles Busch, Lia DiLaria and many more.

During the past 10 years his career has expanded to many areas of commercial photography including celebrities, advertising, packaging, magazine covers, fashion & editorial, travel, architecture, CD and book covers, still-life and table top, fine art and now, apparently WEDDINGS!   

St. Martin’s Press has published two of his books: ‘Basic Trainging’, 1998 & ‘Beach’, 2000.  In 1997 the New York Public Library requested several collections of his work for the institution’s permanent collection.  In October 2008 his work will be on exhibit in Paris at Galerie David Guiraud from the forthcoming publication Homme pour Homme, by Pierre Bonhomme-Bohran.

His images have appeared in Vanity Fair, L’Uomo Vogue, Face, Paper Magazine, Details, GQ, Penthouse, Essence Magazine, The New York Times, The Sunday Times Magazine, Fitness for Women, Men’s Fitness, MetroSource, Los Angeles Times...

Posters and greeting cards of his art have been published and sold around the world.  In 1993 he produced and directed Charles Busch in Dames at Sea.

Yet, he has never stopped shooting headshots.  2008 marked his 33rd anniversary and his work continues to establish new trends and embrace evolving technologies.
