Aside from his beloved career which is photography, he also creates his personal projects including the special project he made with John Malkovich.

The project as a collaboration of Miller with John started during the year of 2003. This was because he wants to give a tribute to the photographers who became his inspiration and shaped him into the world of photography.

The photographic and editing skills of Miller and the acting skills of Malkovich are given emphasis because of this project. The photographs are really deceiving and you will surely believe that it is one of the photographs originally taken before.

The Migrant Mother
The Migrant Mother was taken during the year of 1936. The Migrant Mother original photograph was taken by Dorothea Lange. If you are going to look at the first picture they have taken and tried to portray which is the Migrant Mother, you will be able to realize that the woman in the frame is not Florence Owens Thompsons which is the woman in the original image. You will then realize the real difference of the original image than the taken photo for trying to make the similarities when you get closer to it.

You can be deceived by the picture if especially if you will not learn well the image if which is the real and if which is not. Once you get nearer or look at it closely, you will be able to notice how it resembles the actor and that is John Malkovich.

The great collaboration between Sandro Miller and John Malkovich is perfectly combined. Miller as the photographer that captured great angles and the other one who is John Malkovich makes his acting role perfectly made the project successful. Their tandem indicates how acting and photography skills can bring perfect photographs today.
