Everyone has had the experience of déjà vu. For most, it is a curious, slightly uncomfortable sensation that is quickly forgotten. For photographer Martin Miller, it is the source of an aesthetic, an inspirational but elusive butterfly that can evoke strong visual responses from ordinary subjects.

Martin Miller has been doing high-resolution photography since 1970, first with 4x5 and 8x10 view cameras then, more recently, with digital cameras in a technique called stitched mosaics. In 2003 he retired from a 31-year career as a research physicist with the US Army Research Laboratory to devote full time to his photography. In 2006 his oeuvre shifted from nature abstracts first to the heavy implements of war and then to weapons of mass destruction, including a major multiyear substudy of the production facilities of the Manhattan project. Intimations is Miller's fourth book. The Neutron's Long Shadow: Legacies of Nuclear Explosives Production in the Manhattan Project (2017), Weapons of Mass Destruction: Specters of the Nuclear Age (2017), and Triumph and Tragedy: The Evolution and Legacy of 20th Century War Machines (2021). Neutron received an Honorable Mention in Documentary Book Category of the 2021 Tokyo International Foto Awards. Weapons of Mass Destruction received the Bronze Medal in the Documentary Book Category of the 2021 Tokyo International Foto Awards. Triumph received the Silver Medal in Documentary Photography Book Category of the 2021 Tokyo International Foto Awards, the Silver Medal in Documentary Book Category at the 2022 PX3 Prix de la Photographie of Paris, and the Bronze Medal in Oversized History Book Category at the 2022 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards. The three books together won the Bronze Medal in Non-Fiction Book Series Category at the 2022 Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards. In addition, Miller has received international recognition for his achievements in fine-art photography, architectural photography, abstract photography, and portraiture. He is currently represented by Galerie Gora in Montreal and Galerie Sakura in Paris.
