Overview

An impressive, emotional tribute to humankind by the leading photographer ""A life behind the camera, dedicated to my craft of photography. I live under the notion, 'If my portraits are not moving you emotionally in some way, a feeling of empathy, confusion, surprise, joy, fear, or just a gut wrenching feeling of awkwardness, then I haven't done my work as a portrait artist.' On Earth As It Isn't In Heaven is my tribute to humankind from birth to death. These portraits are of real people, celebrities, and athletes of every culture, race and gender - all of which are experiencing life as it has been dealt to them. In our journeys from birth to death we will all struggle and will all suffer, and the moments in between may be joy, excitement and even orgasmic. These images are caught at 125th of a second document and provide evidence of one's journey through life; they are little secrets about a secret. You will find I reveal as much as I don't reveal and, in the portrait, the more it tells the less you will know. Welcome to a book that I have sunk my heart, soul, blood and tears into. These portraits were not made for me, and they were not made for my sitters, these portraits were created for you, the viewer. To help you feel deeper the joys, the struggles and everything else we feel during that short time we call a life."" -Sandro Miller
