Garry Fabian Miller

Bristol-born artist Garry Fabian Miller makes cameraless photographs by exposing light directly onto photographic paper through substances such as plants, lead, engine oil, cut paper, glass and water.

Year One - Samonios 1

Garry Fabian Miller is one of the most progressive figures in fine art photography. Born in 1957, he has made exclusively 'camera-less' photographs since the mid 1980s. He works in the darkroom, shining light through coloured glass vessels and over cut-paper shapes to create forms that record directly onto photographic paper. These rudimentary methods recall the earliest days of photography, when the effects of light on sensitised paper seemed magical.
