Portraiture.Conceptual.Fashion

I'm Nathan, 21, Australia.

I've been doing photography for about 4-5 years now.
It's hard to explain how I got interested in photography, I kinda of got thrown into photography class in school (I had always been into art, drawing painting and graphic design) until year nine when I HAD to do photography as a class, and found a talent and interest I fell inlove with.
I am self taught.

Photography to me is everything. The idea of being able to express yourself through a form with so much quality and detail is wonderful.
Yes, my photographs have stories behind them, very rarely will I get into them with great detail, I feel like when a person looks at a photograph they can read about the simple idea the photographer had behind it, but the viewer is able to find something that connects it with their own personal experiences and emoctions.

My equipment:
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 400D
EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
EF 50mm f/1.8 II
EF 75 - 300mm f/1.4-5.6 III
Photoshop CS5 Extended

-Nathan

    Until_you says:

    "Nathans stream caught my eye immediatly, it was special and personal. He put his all into his photos and he had a style all of his own. Hes progressed tremendously and was a pleasure to see his photos intensify. His work leaves you stunned and pulls at your emotions in special ways. Should have written this ages ago."

    "I found in Nathan an authentic boy. he is friendly and nice. she is very creative and expressive, i am very bad writing testimonials. i am new at this but something that i am really sure is that he inspire me and i hope a day take photos like his! YOU ROCKS NATHAN!


    Eres genial, novedoso, y sobre todo talentoso. Personas con tu características suelen ser pesadas y despectivas porque saben que son geniales y se creen mejor que los demás, peor tu ere muy humilde y amable. Agradezco cada uno de tus comentarios en mis fotos, para mi significan mucho. Sigue así, eres uno de los mejores!"

    "Oscar Wilde wrote, “The moment you think you understand a great work of art, it's dead for you.” When you look at Nathan Milner's photos you can never wrap your mind around the complexity and emotion that exude from them. It's hard to fully know the depth of skill it takes to create these exquisite photos that speak for themselves. Paired with these photos are well worded and sometimes thought provoking descriptions that really do leave you thinking. Nathan truly is a master in his own field."

    "This is the first testimonial I've ever written, but I strongly think Nathan deserves it. Reasons why? It's simple. He has so much variety in his work, and his photos vary from day to day, which keeps his stream interesting. I've noticed many people on flickr who seem to stay in their comfort zone, putting forth the same type of pictures, and the same type of concept, day in and day out. Nathan does the complete opposite. He tries different things, and he tries them until they're perfect, and I think we all know many of his pictures ARE just simply perfect. His photostream is something that can be easily looked forward to every day, just because you never know what you're going to find.. It's not just a new picture every day, but it's a new everything. He's one of the few people I can say, no two of his pictures look remotely close to the other, unless meant to be that way..and I honestly have NO idea how he pulls it off. All I know is if I were as versatile as Nathan, I would feel sooo accomplished. So Nathan, I hope you feel as accomplished as you really, truly should.=]

    Aside from his photography, he's a great person just in general. I don't know him all that well yet, but I'm looking forward to getting to know him better, and hopefully having major amounts of fun when he comes to the U.S!"

    "not only is Nathan an incredibly kind person to talk to, but his pictures are utterly fantastic. he's one of the most versatile photographers I've seen on this website. he's got great photoshop skill, but his pictures also look beautiful without editing. on top of all that, he's got a badass accent. I mean seriously."

    "I've never written a testimonial before, but Nathan definitely deserves the recognition :]

    I think anyone that wants to view his work, should start at the beginning. Not that you can't appreciate each image alone, but to view the entire stream, you can see the whole range of his abilities.

    Everything from very raw and emotional shots, to colorful captures of nature; Nathan is very creative.
    In his more recent work, I absolutely love how he can create such a powerful image, yet make it so soft.

    I think that all Nathan needs now, is to believe in himself, and his own work, as much as the rest of us do! Then his work will be all over the Aussie art scene.. and the rest of the world! =D"

    "Nathan is a pure example that there is a talent inside each of us that doesn't require years of training to demonstrate. He is so great at what he does, you can see the amount of time and work he puts into each of his photographs. Unlike many people here on Flickr who simply take "pictures," Nathan takes amazing photographs with incredible concepts which make you think beyond the question of "what the photo is of." His work is inspirational and note-worthy. I hope nothing but great success and happiness for him in the future! :D"

    "So I've finally got the time to write a proper testimonial.

    Nathan's work is, frankly, stunning. He has faced a lot in life, and his hardships have shaped who he is. The bruises and scrapes certainly show in his work. To look at one of his photos and not feel something, or wonder what the story behind it is, implies that you're either going blind or you've yet to hit a wall of your own. He is relatable: both his work and himself as a person. He consistently shares what he is facing in life, adding a sense of reality for anyone who is not lucky enough to know him personally, and heaps of respectability points.

    He's got this constant desire to push his work, to grow as a photographer and as a person. He is extremely consistent with his 365 project, and manages to take something awesome even on his laziest of days. His commitment has inspired me to buckle down with my own project, and his originality has inspired some of my favorite photos that I've taken. When someone can inspire you to better yourself at something you are already passionate about, you know they're something special.

    So take a ridiculously awesome person, flawlessly photoshop a picture of him, have him spill his guts to you and tug at your emotions, and you've got Nathan Milner's photostream. I couldn't even begin to tell you how amazing he is as a person, but I've got to say I'm very much enjoying getting to know him."

    "Nathan.
    I cannot express how much your work inspires me, and so many other people everyday. I think thats one of the most important aspects of photography, and you have it covered spot on.
    I really love your self portraits, not only are they emotional, but interesting. I notice something about them I haven't before every-time I see them.
    I cannot wait to see more of your work, I can assure you there will be more amazing to come."
