Neil A. Miller

An American photographer, Neil A. Miller, captures the many fleeting aspects of the world around us. Neil’s first photographic work on the street was in Cleveland, Ohio during the early 1960’s. It was a challenge to go from pictorial/portrait type photography to candid street photography. Working with a Rolleiflex 3.5f and a Leica M2 the results created a passion in him that has continued to this day. 

In the 1970’s he spent time with Garry Winogrand and W. Eugene Smith while assisting at the Ansel Adams and Friends of Photography Workshops. His background includes time as a US Navy Photographer, a 15 year teaching career along with a 39 year career as a news photographer for Channel 10 in Phoenix. Since retiring, Neil continues his devotion to the photographic arts and most specifically to photographing on the street.

Street Photography — Capturing the Unexpected

As Wikipedia describes it, “street photography is photography conducted for art or inquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places”.

Over the past several weeks, we have conducted three successful sessions of our “Capturing the Unexpected” street photography workshop, led by the accomplished Neil A. Miller. Participants embraced the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and capture unscripted moments of life. Throughout the workshop, they focused on refining their observational skills in public settings and thoughtfully curated their images to share with Neil and their peers during the concluding session.

“Exciting workshops are on the way! Be the first to know—visit our website regularly and subscribe to our newsletter for exclusive updates and early access to upcoming events. Don’t miss out on what’s next!”

His most recent book Course of the Empire, published by Steidl, portrays a decade of mounting tension in a polarized America, from Wall Street to the rural heartland and is a portrait of the American social landscape and is a riveting historical and visual record of a complicated country in a complicated time.

Midnight La Frontera (TBW Books) illustrates, in piercing words and in strobe lit images caught against the dark of night, the struggle and defiance of those who make the perilous hike for days and weeks in search of the American Dream.
