An illustrated survey of the life and art of the photographer Lee Miller. Miller was an independent and free spirit, and fearlessly travelled across international borders. Her many "lives" include photographer, model, muse, lover, wife, surrealist, actor, war correspondent, cook and mother. The Lives of Lee Miller is told by her son Antony Penrose, who draws on his privileged access to her unpublished writings and large archive of photographs.
