Lee Miller (1907–1977)

Born 1907 CE, died 1977 CE.

Elizabeth "Lee" Miller, Lady Penrose (April 23, 1907 – July 21, 1977) was an American photographer and photojournalist. Miller was a fashion model in New York City in the 1920s before going to Paris, becoming a fashion and fine-art photographer there. During World War II, she was a war photographer and correspondent for Vogue magazine, covering events such as the London Blitz, the liberation of Paris and the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau. She was known primarily as the muse and lover of the Surrealist artist Man Ray until her son's discovery and promotion of her work established her reputation as an art and war photographer.
