Gently does it

Tender views of daily life

Another photographer who finds an alternative world in the familiar streets of London is Leila Miller. Her colourful nocturnal photographs, leading us into a mysterious twilight fantasy, show a fascination with texture and grain.
Wandering through her neighbourhood, she focuses on the contrasts between materials, finding rich detail in the most unexpected places: the stitching on leather suitcases shot through a shop window; the grain of suede running shoes on grass; smooth conjunctions of polished steel. They are all washed with the strange, velvety light of street lamps and provide us with unusual epiphanies.
