Sandro Miller

Career In 2001, Miller photographed Cuban Olympic athletes. This project was the first US/Cuban collaboration since the trade embargo began in 1960.

He has made promotional photography for Dance for Life, a Midwest performance-based AIDS fundraiser.

In November 2013 in Morocco, Miller made portraits of local tradesmen, nomadic people, snake charmers, fossil diggers, and Gnawa musicians.

In 2014, he re-created photographs paying homage to photographers in a project titled Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters, using John Malkovich as the subject in each image.
