About
Nathan ‘Natti’ Miller has always been drawn to people—their stories, their spaces, and the moments in between. Photography is his way of connecting, observing, and reflecting what he sees with honesty and respect. He doesn’t set out to make statements, but follows his curiosity. What unfolds is often unexpected, sometimes confronting, but always deeply human.
Nathan interest lies in the visual storytelling of people and places with a vivid cultural identity. Nathan’s extensive travels across the globe have provided both the inspiration and backdrop for my work.
Nathan first solo exhibition was a documentary of eleven days spent in Havana, Cuba. he became engulfed by Havana’s sights and sounds, and was fascinated by the role that music played in people’s everyday lives.
Following his Cuban experience, Nathan embarked on another project, this time documenting the Mississippi Delta in the USA where the blues originated. This work was exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Monash Gallery of Art and also shown in the Delta Blues Museum in Clarkdale, USA. This project was subsequently documented in a hardcover book Notes from the Mississippi Delta.
In 2013, Nathan participated in a Magnum Photos international workshop concentrating on district 18 in Paris. The workshop was conducted by the late Abbas Atar, a world renowned Magnum photographer. The project concluded with the production of a book of collective images by eleven photographers, including 11 of Nathan.
His latest project was documenting his observations of Jaffa (Yaffo), in Israel. The project captures Jaffa’s visual uniqueness and the rhythms of daily life from diverse religious and cultural perspectives. Nathan attempted to challenge preconceptions and clichéd assumptions about the lives of Arabs and Jews living in Israel (not referring to the West Bank territories ). This body of work reflects on Arabs and Jews living as one community.
The project photographs have been brought together in a hardcover book published and distributed internationally by Melbourne publisher M.33.
Nathan latest project that become a photographic book called Without Apology documenting women in their nudity “without apology” where he exercise the choice of being open to more than one interpretation and opposing the way that some of society judge sex and nudity.
