Morgan-Griffiths worked as a journalist in radio, television,
national newspapers and magazines and relocated to Hastings five years ago.
In 2012 she exhibited Other
Lives as part of the
Brighton Photo Fringe Festival. This project consisted of a series of portraits
of fishermen in their huts, each one with a corresponding still life of the tools and treasures displayed there, probably unconsciously, into attractive, satisfying arrangements.
In 2014 as part of the Edge group at Hastings station she exhibited a
series of photographs of the train journey from Hastings to London –
the landscape flashing past, rain drops tracking down the windows;
images of a journey, time and life speeding up, speeding past towards
a final destination. She was also part of a group show
Underexposed in
St Leonards Garage space.
Morgan-Griffiths studied at the London College of Printing. Her
background in journalism has led naturally to a preference for taking photographs about the patina
of people’s lives and their environment. She is fascinated by marks
and interventions: those things that add character and history,
curiosity and intrigue to the natural world, landscapes, faces and
abandoned buildings. It is a way of seeing the world differently, giving a sense of mystery and is something that makes her smile.
She is the author of two books on photography:
