Gifted beautiful and rebellious, Lee Miller’s career took her from the fashion pages of Vogue as one of the most sought-after models of the 1920s, to the front line of the Second World War. Her work behind the camera - first as a Surrealist photographer and later as a war correspondent - expanded the boundaries of photographic expression and she quickly became a leading figure in avant garde scenes of London, Paris and Cairo. To tie in with Tate Britain’s extensive retrospective (2 October 2025 – 15 February 2026), Cindy Polemis showcases the work of this extraordinary woman.

 Tickets are £7 per person.
