About Me

Hi, I’m Miles Berry. I take photos.

I’ve been taking photos since the age of ten. Back then, I had a 110 format Kodak camera - I remember being so disappointed by the wildlife photos I took. My aunt gave me an Olympus XA1, which served me well through secondary school. I got more serious about photography at university, moving up to an Olympus SLR with an early autofocus lens. Then followed a sequencer of compact 35mm cameras until the advent of digital photography - I used a Fuji Finepix 6800 in the early 2000s. I took lots of photos for the schools I worked at in the 2000s, mostly using Canon digital SLRs. I switched to Fujifilm’s mirrorless with the X-E1 and have had a number of those since, currently using an X-T5. Most of my photos now are taken on an iPhone: the best camera is the one you have with you.

My Instagram feed captures a pic a day, almost every day, going back to 2014. Here, you have a more curated collection. I’m lucky enough to do a fair bit of travel for work, and so I’m now putting together an online album of (no more than) 24 photos from each trip, almost as if I was back in those film days. These are largely architecture and landscapes - postcard snaps, I guess. My portraits feature my family, but they’re reluctant for me to share those as widely.
