Miles Astray

Miles Astray is a multidisciplinary artist combining writing and photography into art activism, inspired by a slow and immersive journey around the world that started in 2012. Framed by candor, but not caged in by any one genre, his work aims beyond catchy, one-dimensional black or white narratives and notions of misery, happiness, modernity, and exoticism to portray authentic glimpses of here, there, and elsewhere. The result is both homage and appeal.

As a traveling photographer rather than a travel photographer per se, Miles' eclectic body of work encompasses anything from soul-feeding landscapes and pulse-accelerating cityscapes to story-telling street photography, keen cultural observations, bold documentary, and unusual animal encounters both in color and monochrome.

A self-taught artist first by passion then profession, his work has been exhibited in cities like Paris, Rome, and Athens, and garnered international recognition at a variety of photography contests.
