Miles Ladin is a photographic artist based in New York City. At age 16, he attended a workshop with noted photographer Larry Fink. This meeting developed into a mentorship which continued until Ladin receivied an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in 1993.
For over fifteen years, Ladin has made photographs that explore contemporary society from a critical standpoint. His sardonic investigations of the rich & famous have appeared in the pages of The New York Times, George Magazine, and W Magazine. A selection of these images has been included in a chapter of the recently released book, The World's Top Photographer's Workshops: Celebrity & Performance.
His work has been exhibited at international venues such as The Center for Photography at Woodstock, The Photographer's Gallery in London, Exit Art in New York, The Fine Art Works Center in Provincetown, and Sàn Art in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. His photography is included in public and private collections such as The Victoria & Albert Museum, The Library of Congress, Mr. Philippe Ségalot, and Mr. Terence Riley.
In 2001, Ladin published his first limited edition artist's book entitled "Lunch Poems." This homage to the poet Frank O'Hara comprised of street photography was subsequently acquired by The Museum of Modern Art's Special Collections Library in New York. His second artist's book, an homage to the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Schuyler is included in the Whitney Museum of American Art's Special Collections Library.
Most recently, Ladin was commissioned by The Wolfsonian Museum to photograph "bathing culture" in Miami Beach. The resulting images, titled Sun Stroke Stimulus, were made into large scale prints and displayed in a solo exhibit during the Summer of 2009.
