Miles Aldridge

Miles Aldridge’s pictures utilize elaborate constructions and montages to evoke the history of image making by overtly referring to other artworks. This method alters the relationship between photography and temporality. Aldridges images carry the duration of their own production rather than presenting a single instance gathered from the world. Major institutional exhibitions include Virgin Mary. Supermarkets. Popcorn. at Fotografiska (New York, Stockholm, and Berlin), I Only Want You to Love Meat Somerset House (London), and Miles Aldridge Colour Pictures 2000 – 2022 at Hangaram Design Museum (Seoul). Aldridge’s work is held in the permanent collections of The V&A, The National Portrait Gallery, The British Museum, ICP New York, Palais Galliera Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, and Fondation Carmignac, among others. Aldridge has worked extensively with leading international publications such as Vogue Italia, The New York Times, Numéro, The New Yorker, The Face, Vanity Fair, and, in 2024, photographed Elton John for TIME magazine’s “Icon of the Year” cover. Other notable portraits include Viola Davis, Michelle Yeoh, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, Donatella Versace, Michael Fassbender, and David Lynch. He has collaborated with artists such as Maurizio Cattelan, Gilbert & George, and Harland Miller. In 2025, he partnered again with Cattelan on ToiletMiles PaperAldridge, a special edition of ToiletPaper Magazine dedicated to his cinematic vision.
