About

Madeline Miller is a photographer whose life of travel and exploration has shaped her deep connection to the world around her. Her work, which spans both natural landscapes and human moments, invites viewers into the adventures she captures. Through her poignant lens, Miller documents the intimate bond between people, nature, and the environments they inhabit.

Miller’s education at American University in Washington, D.C., taught her all types of photography, including commercial, portraiture, fine art, and landscapes. These studies also included a heavy focus on film photography and darkroom practices.

Now working as a freelance photographer, Miller is able to travel and explore the world freely, allowing her to fully explore her love for photography and grow her body of work. Her current focus is on landscape and wildlife photography.
