Noel Myles

Noel Myles is a British photographer. He first studied fine arts. A painter in his early days, he then turned to photography, which he believes hasn’t been used to the full extent of its possibilities. He strongly claims to be “a photographer – full stop”.

Noel Myles became known thanks to several exhibitions throughout the world (England, The Netherlands, France …). He began making huge collages, using hundreds of colour photographs. He then discovered 19th century photographic processes – especially cyanotypes and platinotypes. This allowed him to explore new paths.

Landscape is one of his favourite subjects. After a walk in the country, he comes home not only with images on film, but also with images in his mind. In his work, he tries to reconstruct these images by assembling negatives according to his memory. That’s why he calls them “inventions of memory”.
Noel Myles also calls his works “extended experiences”. He tries to push away the limits of photography which sets a single view point. By accumulating negatives taken at different times and from various angles, he tries to express as much as possible the experience of a place or an event.
