Lee Miller Portraits

The Lee Miller Portraits exhibition, will feature the sole form of photography that Lee Miller continued to practice throughout her entire life. Even after she had buried her other images in the attic at Farleys, Miller still occasionally photographed her friends. Her final official portrait shoot, was of Antoni Tapies in his studio in 1972. Miller used a Rollieflex, held at chest height, to capture most of her portraits. This meant that the subject and Miller could keep eye contact, and engage in witty conversation during the shoot, resulting in the relaxed unselfconscious expressions in the faces of her sitters.
