Liliane de Cock Morgan (September 11, 1939 — May 25, 2013) was a Belgian-born American photographer who won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1972, and was assistant to Ansel Adams.
Liliane de Cock was born near Antwerp, Belgium and spent much of her early childhood in an orphanage to be protected from bombs during World War II. She worked in factories as a teenager, including a factory that made photographic materials; she moved to America at age 21, in 1960.[1] Once Morgan turned 21, she left on a boat to New York to start her new life in America. On the boat ride from Belgium to New York, she met a man named Brett Weston who was also travelling due to being part of the Guggenheim Fellowship. She lived in New York for approximately less than one year before moving to California. She formed an interest in photography while in New York.[2]
