Miller is most famous, nowadays, as a female war photographer .

She was famously photographed in Hitler’s bath tub, and as part of the advance-guard of the US army moving towards Berlin. Hours earlier, Miller had been part of the group that liberated the concentration camps…

Lee Miller lived the whole of her life in the front-line: as model, muse, surrealist and as house-photographer for Conde Nast’s, Vogue. Born in the USA, she moved to Paris and became part of the bohemian surrealist circle, where she was muse to Man Ray and others.
