• Graham Miller Catalogue, 2015

Graham Miller is one of Perth's leading contemporary photographers and Turner Galleries are proud to have been working with him since 2005.

Graham finds inspiration in everyday suburban life, cinema, graphic novels and literature. Enigmatic moments capture his attention, as in the short stories of Raymond Carver, he is intrigued by small slices of ordinary life, domestic tales of loss and melancholy that don't have sensible beginnings and endings. He investigates with a clear eye the essence of a location, whether it is cowboy America, suburban Perth, tenuous life in Katoomba, or the landscapes of Jane Campion's films in New Zealand. Together these photographs reveal a contemporary malady of isolation.

This exhibition features photographs from the ten years that we have been working with Graham, including several that have not been exhibited before and new works from 2015. A combination of portraits, landscapes and urbanscapes have been carefully selected to provide this exciting overview of his recent practice.

Graham Miller's photography has been exhibited throughout Australia and overseas, including the Haggerty Museum USA, Museum of Photography in Florida, Southeast Museum of Photography USA, One Eyed Jacks Gallery UK, the Rhode Island School of Design, the Rayko Photo Centre in Sand Francisco, FotoWeek DC USA, Pingyao International Festival of Photography China, Recontres Photographie Internationale de Niort France, Kaunas Photo Festival Lithuania (winner), F/Stop Festival Leipzig Germany, Yokohama Photography Festival Japan, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of WA, the Australian Centre for Photography Sydney, Perth Institute of Contemporary Art, the Photography Gallery of WA and with Turner Galleries.

He has been selected for the 2015 WA Focus program at the Art Gallery of WA that features new and recent artworks by outstanding West Australian artists. (WA Focus : Graham Miller will run from 21 November 2015 to 28 February 2016.)

Graham Miller was a co-founder of FotoFreo, a biennial international festival of photography based in Fremantle, Western Australia, that ran from 2002 to 2013. He is a sessional lecturer in Photomedia at Edith Cowan University and his photographs can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of WA, Haggerty Museum USA, Murdoch University, Edith Cowan University, Artbank, Parliament House Canberra, City of Fremantle, Royal Perth Hospital and many private collections.
