In Lee Miller: Photographs you will find one hundred of the most remarkable photographs taken by photographer, model and surrealist muse Lee Miller, published in anticipation of the film's release Lee in November 2023, starring Kate Winslet as Lee Miller.
Photojournalist, war correspondent, model and surrealist muse Lee Miller was one of the most important female photographers of the twentieth century, excelling in photojournalism, fashion and advertising photography and portraiture. This book presents one hundred of her best works in one volume.
Lee Miller was introduced to photography at a young age and refined her craft in Paris, where she associated with the Surrealists and avant-garde artists, including Jean Cocteau and Picasso. Together with Man Ray, she accidentally discovered the signature technique of solarization to create mesmerizing halo effects.
After setting up her own photography studio in New York, where she became a leading commercial photographer, she then moved to the Middle East and Europe before becoming the official war photographer for Vogue, a period during which she captured many of her most iconic images.
This evocative book features Lee Miller's most famous documentary, fashion and war works, as well as Miller's photographs, all carefully curated by her son, the photographer Antony Penrose, with a foreword by actress Kate Winslet, who will star as Miller in the film Lee.
