Born in 1964 in London, England to prominent album-cover graphic designer Alan Aldridge, Miles Aldridge grew up used to being surrounded by celebrities including big names such as  John Lennon and Eric Clapton.

This early and continuous exposure to such creative lifestyles funneled into Miles‘ personal creativity and artistic talents, leading to him studying illustration at the Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design. Aldridge didn’t begin his career in photography until 1983, after a short stint as a music video director, but has since become one of the  most famed fashion photographers.

Aldridge’s works have been featured in numerous publications, including W magazine, Vogue, The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaae, and The New Yorker.
