Bio

Elisa Miller is an award-winning French photographer based in London, UK. Miller tells visual stories using a vintage and colourful aesthetic to explore questions of identity, self-perception, and the representation of women. Her work delves into the impact of societal pressure on women and the images that lie beneath the surface, using light and elaborate settings to explore the female psyche through a cinematic lens. Originally from Paris, Elisa’s creative journey began with a paintbrush in hand during her teenage years. It was during her work at a videotape rental shop that her passion for cinema took root, shaping her artistic vision and infusing her style with a cinematic allure. Before finding her calling as a photographer, she ventured into the world of fashion, making waves as a model for retro brands and classic car magazines. However, it wasn’t until 2018 that this self-taught artist took the plunge into photography, embarking on a journey of exploration and self-discovery. She has received numerous prestigious awards, including “Photographer of the Year” at the Julia Margaret Cameron Awards in 2023, “Fine art photographer of the year” at PX3 Prix de la Photography Paris in 2022, “People Photographer of the Year” at the International Photography Awards in 2021, and was shortlisted at the British Photography Awards and Aesthetica Art Prize. Her work has been published widely in the press, including Lens Magazine, Aesthetica, All About Photo, Dodho and Life Framer, and shown at collective exhibitions in New York, Paris, Milan, London, Budapest and Tokyo.
