Santiago Morgan is a photographer and darkroom printer based in North London. Unlike most of his generation, he began working entirely on film after buying his first camera at sixteen. His practice has evolved from colour to black-and-white, exploring themes of place, solitude, and belonging through a blend of landscape and street photography. Of mixed Chilean–Welsh heritage, Santiago often photographs from a sense of being between worlds, finding quiet isolation even in crowded scenes.

His cinematic eye, honed through work as a location manager on productions such as The Batman, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, and Beetlejuice, informs his composition and visual storytelling. A self-taught darkroom printer with over a decade of experience, he works closely with Adrian Ensor, twice recipient of the Ilford Master Printer Award. In 2024 he built his own darkroom, where he continues to refine his craft and collaborate with other photographers.

His work has been exhibited and published, including in Silvergrain Classics. Through his practice, Santiago seeks to preserve traditional darkroom techniques while shaping a contemporary analogue voice.
