Nato nel 1964 e cresciuto a Londra, con un padre art director, Miles Aldridge esordisce in qualità di illustratore e regista di video musicali prima di approdare alla fotografia e arrivare a lavorare nel giro di pochi anni per Vogue, Paul Smith, YSL e Giorgio Armani.
L’universo di Miles Aldridge è fatto di colori brillanti e pose seducenti. Un mondo irreale, rarefatto, non a caso paragonato alle visioni di David Lynch…
Taken in hotel rooms after fashion shows from London to New York between 1994 and 1997, the photos are spontaneous and narcissistic, and show the young Aldridge investigating the medium of 35 mm photography as much as his unfolding romance with McMenamy.
The second part of Other Pictures is an introspective portrait in deep colour of Aldridge’s married life with children. Cinematic and beautiful but filled with anxiety, these images show Aldridge’s children as vacant and sometimes corpse-like actors in the photographer’s imagined drama of family life.
