My new print collection "I'm 12 now." celebrates my 12th travel anniversary with 12 previously unpublished prints in limited editions of 12, signed and numbered, in a 12"x12" square format (30x30 cm). They are available only between May 16th and May 26 at 120 EUR – my smallest-numbered and yet most affordable limited edition to date. A gift for you and me.
Why those dates? Well, I don't mean to brag, but I have two birthdays, both in May. May 26th, the day I was born, and May 16th, the day I was reborn. That's the day I left home to start a new life. Now, twelve years later, I'm still out here. To celebrate my travel anniversary, I curated this latest collection with one print from each year.

Biography
Miles Astray is a multidisciplinary artist, combining photography and prose. Inspired by a slow, immersive, and messy journey around the world that started in 2012 and is ongoing, his practice is framed by candor, but not caged in by any one genre. Miles’ work aims beyond catchy, one-dimensional black or white narratives and notions of misery, happiness, modernity, and exoticism to portray authentic glimpses of here, there, and elsewhere. The result is both homage and appeal.
As a traveling photographer rather than a travel photographer per se, Miles' eclectic body of work encompasses anything from soul-feeding landscapes and pulse-accelerating cityscapes to story-telling street photography, keen cultural observations, bold documentary, and unusual animal encounters both in color and monochrome.
A self-taught artist first by passion then profession, his work has been exhibited in Paris, Rome, and Athens, and garnered international recognition at a variety of photography contests.
