Miles Aldridge Announcement

BRANCOLINI GRIMALDI IS HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THE EXCLUSIVE REPRESENTATION OF MILES ALDRIDGE

Miles Aldridge, born in London in 1964, has published his photographs in such influential magazines as Vogue Italia, American Vogue, Numéro, The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Paradis.  His work has been exhibited worldwide, with pieces residing in many significant public and private collections. A selection of his portraits hangs in the permanent collections of The National Portrait Gallery in London, The Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the International Centre of Photography in New York. Aldridge has published several books, most recently: The Cabinet, 2007; Acid Candy, 2008; Miles Aldridge: Pictures for Photographs, 2009.

Miles Aldridge is first of all an artist of the subconscious, and secondly a fashion photographer. Aldridge is famous for his decadent colour-saturated photography; the feeling  produced is strong and surreal but also humorous. Cinematic expression marks his work: his dream-driven, erotic style, that takes pleasure in scratching at the thin veneer laid over the fashion world, has been compared to that of directors Bergman, Buñuel, Lynch and Hitchcock. Miles Aldridge’s images present a stupendously glossy and magnetically vibrant world. His visual language is conveyed through beautiful and elegant women who animate a storyboard that unfolds on an exquisitely staged mise-en-scène.
