Artist Profile: Miles Thorn

Overview
Miles Thorn is a New York City-based photographer whose work captures moments of emotional residue embedded within the urban landscape. His images reflect a fascination with nostalgia, detachment, and the quiet poetry of the street. Working primarily in black and white, Thorn’s photography highlights the overlooked—a parked car, a tagged wall, a shadow slipping across pavement—revealing layered stories in plain sight.

Rooted in instinct and atmosphere, his compositions offer a cinematic stillness that lingers. Each photograph functions as a visual diary entry, archiving the ephemeral feelings that often go unspoken in city life.
