• Miles Morgan is a Portland, Oregon native. His father, Hank Morgan, introduced him to the world of photography at a young age. It wasn’t until April of 2009, that Miles found his love for landscape photography. He uses some Photoshop tricks and blending of exposures to add his own flare to his photos he captures.

• “An image I caught on my trip that I hope you will enjoy with me.” – Miles Morgan

• The Blue Lagoon was captured during a trip that Miles took throughout Iceland with some friends. This was one of the last shots that he took while on his stay there. This is among Miles’ most well known and highest selling photo.

• I chose this photograph, not only for its breathtaking beauty, but it evokes a sense of calmness and serenity that in turn evokes happiness. This happiness is purely caused by nature and its beauty. Sometimes being in nature and gazing at its splendor can give a sense of happiness and joy, which essentially fits into my theme and thought process behind this exhibition.
