Sophie Miller
Sophie Miller is UK based photographer, whose work explores the subtle relationships between people, place, and the natural world. Drawing from personal experience, their practice often begins with introspection, using the camera as a tool to navigate memory, belonging, and identity. Through long-form projects grounded in collaboration and observation, she investigates how environments shape human lives.
What Lies Between Root and Sky is a photographic exploration of the relationship between people and place, examining how landscapes shape human experience, and how in turn, we inscribe meaning onto the land. Shot across different landscapes in Southern England, the project explores the lives of farmers and community-led land management projects, tracing the quiet connections between humans, animals, and the environments they inhabit.
At its core, the work is rooted in my personal journey through these places, reflecting on human experience as something deeply entangled with the land around us, our sense of self mirrored in stone, soil, and sky. It reveals how connections, to others and to place, grow through daily toil, repeated gestures, and quiet, unspoken understandings. People, animals, and the land form an intertwined network, each leaving subtle marks on the others, shaping a shared existence.
