About David.
I’m an award-winning photographer specialising in running, endurance sport and the outdoors. In 2023, I won the People’s Choice Sports Photographer of the Year at the British Photography Awards — recognition that reflects both my eye for storytelling and my connection to sporting culture.
My work sits at the intersection of performance, landscape and human resilience.
In 2024, I created and produced DO NOT BLOCK GATE, a photobook documenting the iconic Barkley Marathons. The book became a No.1 bestseller and is now sold out worldwide. It features one of the most powerful and talked-about sports images of modern times — Jasmin Paris at the moment she completed the race — a photograph that has come to symbolise grit, history and possibility in endurance sport.
My writing and photography have been published internationally across print and digital media, with a focus on capturing defining moments and the emotional edge of endurance sport.
“His images are some of the most inspirational we’ve seen, and really capture the beauty of the wild places in which we love to run.”
— Trail Running Magazine
“David Miller's photographs of the Barkley are just that. Not just images of objects but moments in time. They engage all the parts of the mind to create an image of those moments in time. The essence of what it felt like to be there...
The sound of silence.”
