Lyn Morton

Lyn Morton is a North Jersey–based photographer, educator, and storyteller who has spent a lifetime behind the camera — first inspired by his father, a photographer who passed on both the craft and the curiosity that come with it. Lyn received his first camera at age seven and has been chasing light and stories ever since.

A graduate in photojournalism, Lyn served eight years in the U.S. Army as a photojournalist before launching a 20-year career in public relations and marketing, where he managed communications for Fortune 500 companies and led visual storytelling initiatives. During his corporate career, he led Canon USA’s Live Learning program, guiding its national workshops and educational initiatives that helped photographers at all levels sharpen their craft.

As founder of Shutterbug Life — an online photography community and education platform — Lyn brings together photographers who want to grow their craft, develop their unique style, and stay inspired through community and consistent practice. His structured framework helps photographers move from Emerging to Enthusiast to Entrepreneurial, providing a clear path to mastery.

Lyn has taught more than 600 workshops with a 4.9/5 rating, hosted over 100 podcast episodes, and built one of the fastest-growing photography Meetups in Washington, DC. Through his photography business, Lyn Morton Photography, he serves New Jersey and New York clients with portraits, events, real estate, and branding photography — pairing creative visuals with strategic marketing insight.

At his core, Lyn believes photography isn’t meant to be a solo sport — it’s a shared journey. His mission is to help photographers and entrepreneurs tell powerful visual stories, build authentic brands, and create work they’re proud to share.
