Miles Aldridge is a British fashion photographer and artist born in 1964.
Aldridge aims to create work that is unsettling to the viewer, but sugarcoated with bright colors. His eerily erotic images call to mind psychedelia, pop art, and the films of David Lynch, Dario Argento, and Pedro Almodóvar—as though capturing an entire film in a single shot. Aldridge studied illustration at Central St Martins and directed music videos before becoming a regular contributor to the world’s top fashion magazines in the early ‘90s, including Vogue Italia, where he remains a key presence.

London-born artist and fashion photographer Miles Aldridge reflects on a career spent bringing colour-and uncanniness-to the world of fashion in this new episode of Photographers in Focus. Starting out working for Teen Vogue, W, and Harper's Bazaar, the boundary-pushing artist has long focused on how color can be used as a vibrant, rather than a simply naturalistic, medium.
