Mia Klein was born in Canada into a family of
passionate photographers and painters. She has
worked both as an editorial and advertising
portrait photographer for such clients as
Miramax Films, Citytv, Saturday Night Magazine,
The Globe and Mail, and Playboy. Profiles on
Klein have appeared in PHOTO and APPLIEDARTS.
Her fine art and commercial images have been
widely published around the world.
A
former gymnast and model, Mia has a special
affinity for shooting the body and "man in
motion." She has photographed many of the great
dancers of the National Ballet of Canada. Her
experiences in front of the camera have informed
her work behind the camera and made it
better.
Mia is also intrigued by extreme
athletes. She has been known to don a wetsuit
and helmet and wait, sometimes for hours, in
heavy waves, while windsurfers fly
overhead.
Her shots have appeared as
posters in Windsport Magazine and related
advertising. Klein has a great love of science,
nature and design. Her fascination with
evolutionary biology has had a definite
influence on her most personal work, which
aspires to incorporate a "dynamic sensation of
time."
