Peter Miller was born in Philadelphia (USA), but for the last 30 years he has been living in Japan in the city of Kamakura. Fond of photography since childhood, after moving to Japan, he decides to devote his life to this and gives up his professional career in financial consulting. Peter Miller begins to carefully study the techniques of classical European, Chinese and Japanese engraving and discovers the long-forgotten laborious technique of photo engraving, invented in the 19th century and combining engraving and photography. Peter Miller is currently one of the few artists working in this technique. His works are stored in collections of world museums, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, UK), the National Museum of American Art (Washington, USA), the Yenisch Museum (Vevey, Switzerland).
