DAVID MORGAN contact: david@dmny.com 888-NYC-DMNY BIO DAVID MORGAN began shooting professionally in 1975 providing headshots to fellow actors. Within a few short years became one of the industry's leading purveyors of this now sophisticated marketing niche. Celebrating his 32 year he has shot over 14,000 performers in NYC. Celebrities photographed by Mr. Morgan include: MARG HELGENBERGER (left), Rosie O’Donnell, Christopher Meloni, Michael Bergen, Malcolm Gladwell, Nathan Lane, Eartha Kitt, Harvey Fierstein, John Waters, Nancy Marchand, Jane Powell, Ed Fry, Orson Beane, Reid Shelton, Catherine Cox, Charles Busch, Morton Downey, Jr., Penn & Teller, Paul Rudnic, Miss Coco Peru, Bruce Vilanch, Khristine W, Lonnie Gordan, Lea DiLaria, Michaelangelo Signorile, Hernando Cortez, Gary Chryst, Robyn Byrd, Harvey Fierstien, Marissa Kay Winonkur, John Waters, Robert Lafosse, Mel Harris. He has become regarded as court photographer of the circuit DJ Legends shooting Manny Lehmen,Tony Moran, Mark Anthony, David Knapp, Susan Morabito, Warren Gluck, Victor Calderone, and the ‘legendary’ Junior Vasquez, among others. In November, 1990, he invited seven gym buddies to his Cheslea studio to shoot a commissioned poster image for the annual Saint-At-Large Winter event. In lieu of an official wardrobe, Morgan instructed his models: "Bring underwear, boots, cut-offs, belts, anything WHITE." Morgan gathered his stellar group onto a sheet of white plexi and gave them one instruction; an instruction destined to go down in gay history: He told them to "jump" at the count of three. "Let's rehearse: One, two three...jump! I want your feet just a little bit off the ground!" Awkwardly the models jostled onto the tiny empty space, acutely aware of the each other and their closeness. But Morgan wanted more: "Squeeze tightly together! Once again: One Two Three JUMP!" Within 20 frames of film, WHITE PARTY (left) was captured. In the decade that followed, Morgan's iconic WHITE PARTY poster would become widely regarded as one of the most popular images of global gay-culture. It's enduring quality and the impact it made on his career was never fully anticipated on that auspicious November evening fifteen years ago. In 1992 his ground breaking, crisp black and white package art for 2(x)ist UNDERWEAR (left) helped launch the company to well known success, and now a global success. More than 20 other lines followed. In 1998, the New York Public Library requested several collections of the Morgan's photographs to be placed in the institution's permanent archives. Commerical clients include: Seagram’s and Sons, AT&T, 2(x)ist, Everlast, Chemical Bank, Watchworld, Parfums DeCoeur, Perrier, Miller Light, Cedar Lake Dance Ensemble, Bloomingdale's, Nicole Miller, Fruit-of-the-Loom, Dial-A-Mattress. Calendars, greeting cards, and a dozen posters have contributed to Morgan's enormous popularity. Responsible for the first 120 weekly covers of New York’s NEXT magazine, Morgan went on to shoot covers for GENRE, METROSOURCE, MIAMIGO and others. Hardcover credits include Signorile’s LIFE OUTSIDE for Simon & Schuster, WHORES OF THE LOST ATLANTIS for Charles Busch, and Doug Guinan’s witty best-seller, CALIFORNIA SCREAMING. His first St. Martin's Press publication, BASIC TRAINING, by fitness author Jon Giswold, saw four printings and soft-cover editions here and abroad. In autumn 2000 his second book BEACH examined men's fascination with the sun becoming the artist’s best known book. Shot during sunlit 10 days in 1994, the book was Morgan's first solo publication. His fine art photographs have appeared on calendars, greeting cards, posters, and his World Wide Web site, www.dmny.com, as well as in numerous compilation books such as ‘Adonis, Masterpieces of Erotic Art’ The Male Nude, and the 'Hidden Love-Art and Homosexuality' by Dominique Fernandez. He remains to be one of the industry's leading headshot photographers and now, 30 years later, he has photographed over 14,000 performers. David Morgan resides in New York City.
