ABOUT ME

Miranda Penn Turin is a freelance photographer and director who has been specializing in portraiture, fashion, music and beauty for decades. She first picked up a camera at about eight when her mother gave her a grey Polaroid Swinger for her birthday - she misses the smell of those squeegee tubes of fixer that came with every pack of real Polaroid film.

She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in creative writing, but her passion for photography overrode her major. In her summer breaks she interned with Boston photographers and began assisting once she graduated. (She still believes assisting is the greatest photographic education anyone could possibly get.)
She added Director to her title in 2007 when she directed her first music video for Warner Bros, and has since directed many commercials, music videos and fashion films. She works with a diverse range of clients including Coty, Max Factor, Sony, Universal, Bloomingdales, Fox, Warner Bros. Records, Converse, Conde Nast, the Four Seasons, Chase, MTV and many others. She is the official photographer of Voices4Freedom, a humanitarian organization committed to abolishing human trafficking all over the world. She is a board member of APA-LA and has been honored with awards from Communication Arts, Adobe, The Art Director's Club, APA, etc. None of this would have been possible without her team - she is deeply grateful to have the best crew on the planet.
