Comments on: Morgan Silk http://www.thefstopmag.com/?p=220 Professional Photographers Discuss Their Craft Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:36:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Valentine http://www.thefstopmag.com/?p=220&cpage=1#comment-46 Valentine Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:52:07 +0000 http://www.thefstopmag.com/?p=220#comment-46 Interesting account from Morgan but somewhat misleading. It is extraordinarily difficult to break in to the market and Morgan was not 'discovered' following his AOP Gold win. 18 months of pavement-pounding visiting agencies, marketing his work to key individuals in the industry and grooming him to shoot work that was commercially relevant building on the well executed, but non commercial work he had in his portfolio at that point. Morgan exhibited in a small east end London gallery and was discovered by a forward-thinking agent. The appointment was a risk with no commercial work under his belt but the gamble paid off and 18 months later having geared his work towards the urban and car market he won the Landrover World Rugby Cup shoot which later won D&AD awards. Hard graft leads to this kind of success, but sometimes that hard graft does pay off. Glad that you are finally using your style within portraiture now Morgan!
