Morgan progressed into filmmaking and has shot music videos, fashion films, and feature-length documentaries. As a musician, he released two solo albums and co-wrote Neneh Cherry's 1988 hit 'Buffalo Stance'. Morgan continues to work as a photographer and filmmaker, shooting for magazines including Arena HOMME+, Dazed, i-D, British Vogue and CR Fashion Book and with brands including Givenchy, Martine Rose, Alexander Wang, Timberland, Nike, John Varvatos, Shoreditch Ski Club, Tommy Hilfiger and Ozwald Boateng.
