ABOUT ME

I’m Neil Milton – a Scottish street photographer and photojournalist living and working in Warsaw, Poland. An accredited foreign correspondent in Poland, I photograph for SOPA Images. I teach photography, most recently at Akademickie Liceum Ogólnokształcące (PJATK) in Warsaw, and I mentor young photographers.

Described by the British Academy of Photography as a prodigious talent, and by critics as a surrealist at heart with an eye for irony and amusing little moments, I spend my days walking the streets looking for the unexpected, as well as the unconventional and the contradictory.

Among other places, I have shown exhibitions at the National Scottish Football Museum, and the Edinburgh International Arts Festival, both in Scotland – and also in Warsaw, Poland.

My work has been published by the European editions of Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Time, and by the New York Times, the Guardian, the Times of London, Der Tagesspiegel, Le Figaro, as well as on the BBC, CNN, NBC, Al Jazeera, Novara Media, OKOPress, among many others.

I am an alumnus of the Magnum Professional Practices series and have also completed masterclasses with Magnum photographers Richard Kalvar and Bruce Gilden, in Paris and London respectively.
