Lee Miller (1907–1977) was a groundbreaking American photographer and surrealist artist who famously transitioned from being a model and "one of the most photographed girls in Manhattan" to a fearless war correspondent during World War II. Initially a muse to Man Ray in Paris, she co-developed the solarisation technique before establishing her own studios in New York and Paris. During the war, she was one of the few female photojournalists accredited with the U.S. Army, capturing harrowing evidence of the Holocaust at Dachau and Buchenwald for Vogue.
