Projects

Nathan’s projects reflect an ongoing interest in documenting everyday life through film. Each body of work focuses on a different aspect of that observation, from familiar environments to personal relationships and encounters with strangers in public space.

Rather than working toward fixed outcomes, these projects are being allowed to develop over time. They are shaped by the moments within them, gradually forming a broader reflection of life as it unfolds.

Together, the work centres on presence, observation and the idea that each photograph captures a moment that has already passed, preserved only through the image.

Self Portrait

An ongoing project by Nathan Miles, exploring reflections, shadows and fragmented self-portraits that blur the line between observer and subject. The work focuses on quiet moments of presence and self-reflection within everyday environments.

Untitled

An ongoing project, focused on photographing people encountered in public spaces. Shot on film, the work captures individuals as they are, focusing on character, presence and the subtle details that make each person unique.

Ordinary Places

Ordinary Places is an ongoing project, focused on photographing people and environments that often go unnoticed. Working with film, the project captures small, unposed moments as they unfold, revealing the quiet details and rhythms that shape everyday life.

Theodora

Project Theodora is a personal project that explores the relationship between Nathan and his cat, Theodora. Shot on film, the work captures moments of companionship and routine, focusing on the small, quiet interactions that define their bond over time.
