My Take
Lee Miller's life still straightens my spine. She began as a New York fashion model in the 1920s, then walked into the frame from the other side and reinvented herself in Paris as a serious photographer. What moves me is the nerve of that pivot, refusing to stay merely beautiful. Then came the harder turn: front-line war correspondent and combat photographer in the Second World War, carrying both an eye for elegance and the will to stare directly at horror. Nearly fifty years after her death, her images still ask whether I would have her courage. I doubt I would.
