Artist Statement

My photography tells a story of where I have been and how much further I have to go as a black man in America. I’ve had employees working under me, along side me, my own office suite, my own desk, my own cubicle, I’ve worn uniforms, served fries and took out the trash. Nothing has answered more questions for me about the world we live in, made me want to know more or sustained my attention to detail the way photography does. I cherish every moment I spend behind the camera and editing photos. There is nothing quite like composing the perfect memory, bending light & time to tell a story and create history.

Miles’ partnering to create Washington Winnona Images is nothing short of a culmination of life experience, success, and failure. After a 13+ year career in behavioral health from New York to Los Angeles ended Miles chose to turn his passion for photography into a career upon returning to his hometown of York, Pennsylvania. Over the last three years Miles took the time to invest in himself by studying still & aerial photography, the social realism works of Gordon Parks and Vivian Maier among many more, as well as obtaining FAA certification as an Unmanned Aerial Systems Pilot.
