Elisa Miller
Originally from Paris, Elisa began experimenting with photography after moving to London in 2017.
In the years before relocating, fascinated by Hollywood glamour, she hung out in the rockabilly milieu of Paris and became a pin-up model for retro clothing brands and classic car magazines. She had a successful career for a few years in France.
The transition behind the lens later happened naturally. Her interest in the vintage aesthetics has given her a retro universe that became her signature. Playing with lights, colours and elaborated sceneries, she explores the female psyche through her cinematic lens. Her work examines issues of identity, self-perception, the effects of societal pressures on women and the image behind the outward mask.
Awarded "Fine art photographer of the year" at the Px3 in 2022 and "People Photographer of the Year" at the prestigious International Photography Awards in 2021, she also received a number of other international recognitions in the past three years.
A selection of her photographs is available through the Yellow Korner art galleries worldwide and Saatchi Art. Her work has been published in magazines in the USA, UK, France and Australia, and shown at collective exhibitions in London, Paris, Budapest and Tawaian.
