Lee Miller

Lee Miller was a photographer and photojournalist who documented the atrocities of World War II. Miller studied at Vassar College and the Art Students League of New York. She was discovered by Vogue publisher Condé Nast and subsequently worked as a model for the magazine; she was photographed by Edward Steichen in 1928. Shortly after Miller opted to move behind the camera, apprenticing at Man Ray’s Parisian studio. As a war correspondent for British Vogue in the 1940s, Miller was one of the few female photographers to see combat. She produced some of the first photographic evidence of the Holocaust and documented the libertion of the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps. She was also known for photographing Pablo Picasso and other luminary artists.
