Career
Morris was born in Wandsworth, south-west London, in 1938. He studied photography at Guildford Arts School.
He was known in the music industry as the only professional to have photographed the cult singer/ songwriter Nick Drake before his premature death in 1974. An exhibition of his Nick Drake photographs ran in 2004 year at Redferns Music Picture Gallery in west London.
Subsequently it was mounted at South By Southwest. Writing about the exhibit he said, "Please know I also love Nick's work since always which is was a large part of why I decided to do the exhib."
"Although I knew Nick on and off for about four years, I photographed him only three times, on three separate days, each time linked to one of his albums".
In the mid-1970s, Morris developed a passion for scuba-diving - and, within a decade, he was one of Britain's top divers and became a senior instructor for Technical Divers International.
Morris went missing from a dive on a submarine wreck in the English Channel around June 17 2005.
